This reference has been produced in very small quantities. It is believed that around 150 to 200 units were produced. The watch was offered with either a silvered dial or a blue sunburst one. To this day, only about 28 watches are know from the market with about half equipped with a silvered dial. It is a rare opportunity to acquire this reference.
