圖錄文章
The reference 2434 with its large case, elongated lugs and simple calm dial with applied indexes is typical of the industrial designs of the 1950s with its sleek, elegant and taught lines inspired by American automobile design of the time.

Beating within is a magnificent tonneau shaped manual caliber 9-90 bearing the prestigious Geneva seal, attesting of the painstaking hand work that has gone in creating and decorating the movement.

An ultra rare reference with this caliber, as only 20 yellow gold examples are known, it is in excellent overall condition, with strong case displaying a very crisp hallmark, seductive silver dial and beautiful movement the present lot is the perfect watch for the elegant gentleman.

For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499.
