Featuring one of the rarest stone dials, this model's Red Jasper dial is a vibrant facet of horological art. Its deep crimson hue and unique texture, crafted from silicon dioxide, make each piece not only a timepiece but a work of art. The allure of this watch is amplified by its scarcity. The Red Jasper dial was produced in very limited numbers before being discontinued in 1978, ensuring its place as a coveted collector's piece. It's even more impressive when found in perfect condition without cracks or hairlines, making this particular model both an aesthetic and historical treasure.
