Sold privately. This exceptionally rare knotted platinum APQP represents the first reference to feature the Tuscan dial, hand-hammered by Stern and remarkable for its vivid coloration and strikingly contrasting textures. The earliest batch of reference 5561, believed to comprise only around 10 examples, features the coveted "SWISS only" dial, underscoring its extremely limited production. The case by Croiser/JPE, with Jean-Pierre Hagmann serving as head case maker at the time. An exceptional near NOS condition watch and real honour to have pass through my hands.
Huge congrats N and big thanks S for making this happen. Here's to many more years of enjoyment in a new collection.
