Catalogue Essay
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly collectible aquatic collection of the 5076P, the present example depicts a pair of yellow tailed Threadfin Butterflyfish with exotic stripes. The pair swivels across a seabed of whimsical ,bed of sea urchins as the passage of time glides across the dial. Throughout the history of Chinese culture, the constant movement of the blissful fish encourages the growth of wealth, stability and when in pairs, harmony. Fitted with a set of thin leaf hands, the minute hand bears a beautiful wave shape that compliments the painted current of the ocean. Modest in size and snug on the wrist, the platinum Gondolo case frames this scenery in serenity and is definitely a pleasant view that can be admired on the get-go. The series was launched with four type of distinct fishes in limited production and was discontinued in 2006, the present 5076P in excellent condition with its Certificate of Origin is highly sought-after and is definitely a beauty for the enthusiast of marine life.
