Accompanied by an Extract from the Archives confirming production with white gold accents in 1938 and sale on September 30th of that year.

This model, Ref. 513, was produced roughly between 1937 and 1952.

This reference is known to exist with variations in the dial design, case metal combination, and with or without subsidiary seconds. Some examples featured the octagonal cal. 9-90 movement, while others, like the present lot, featured the circular cal. 8-85 movement.

According to our research, the present model is the only one known in yellow and white gold fitted with cal. 8-85.
