Estimate: € 15.000 –⁠ 30.000

A model produced for a brief window between 1952 and 1956, the 2532 was born from the lineage of the iconic reference 565, sharing its timeless purity of form while evolving the concept with a robust waterproof screw-back case. Where the 565 emphasized balance, the 2532 whispers of confidence. Slightly more compact yet muscular in profile, it embodies mid-century Swiss design with a clarity and purpose that resonates decades later. This example, executed in seldom-seen pink gold, elevates rarity further with the presence of the retailer signature of Hausmann & Co. — the legendary Roman house whose name alone evokes a world of patrician taste and quiet refinement. The dial is a study in tone-on-tone beauty: the pink tropicalized surface has acquired a warm patina, harmonizing with its faceted indexes and dauphine hands in rose hues, both of which feature radium luminous material, a rare and evocative detail that further situates the watch in its era. The case remains full and well-preserved, its hallmarks clear and its lines sculpted. The lugs, subtle but strong, taper gently to a narrow strap, anchoring the piece in elegant proportions. Offered with its original Certificate of Origin and period documentation, this 2532 is a portal into the golden age of European watchmaking.
