完整圖錄內容
The model most notably features curved and flared lugs, its 43mm case sits incredibly well and gives a lot of presence on the wrist. It was cased mostly in yellow gold, but examples in pink gold are known - such as the present piece - as well as 3 specimens in platinum. According to research, pink gold examples are extremely scarce: so far, only 25 pink gold pieces have been identified and the total output is estimated to be 60 watches. However, the present piece happens to be 20 times as uncommon as the already very rare “standard” pink gold 2442, as it is one of three examples known to bear the S&L stamp to the back of the case, indicating it was retailed by Serpico y Laino. Serpico y Laino is one of the biggest names in vintage watch collecting circles as it was the leading Caracas watch retailer, their name was present on the dial of some of the most important wristwatches to ever appear at auction.
