If desired these could be lightly polished out. The strap of this watch contains endangered species; please see Important Notices for further information.

Purchased by Mr. Fullerton in 2004, the present lot was a prized find for him. He notes in his personal record that it was a discontinued model and the very last piece in the factory. One can imagine the satisfaction of adding this piece to one's collection. In this case, it perfectly complements the genre of perpetual calendar chronograph wristwatches that were of such interest to Mr. Fullerton.
