This reference is the rarest version cased in platinum, and is sought after by collectors because of its distinguishing features such as the officer case with screwed lugs, retrograde date, and an easily visible movement through the hinged case back. Accompanied by all its original accessories, the present watch is a very clean and crisp example. 92754 HK WATCHES_NOV15_2-165_bl.indd 156 22/10/15 09:41
