The present lot is a remarkable, oversized Omega reference CK 2039. Introduced in 1938, this model measures a massive 44mm in diameter which was absolutely huge for the era during which it was produced. The movement used is a robust pocket watch caliber 37.6S, most often used in early military or aviator watches. The present watch, made in 1939, is one of the very first models produced and was delivered to Poland. The grandfather of the current owner - a watchmaker based in Prague- purchased the watch from the original owner who worked as a mining engineer in Poland. It was passed on from father to son until its appearance here in this very catalogue. It is extremely rare to see a CK 2039 appear at auction. The present lot is fresh to the market and in excellent condition. It will without a doubt appeal to the connoisseur due to its rarity, contemporary dimensions, lovely gilt finished caliber and the elegantly patinated sector dial.
