Accessories Original box and warranty (now void)Possibly the most visually striking variation, and of course one of the most collectible, is represented by the present example with tropical chapter rings. Given the dramatic looks tropicalization imparts to timepieces, such a defect has come to be a sough-after particularity of the models. As it is an uncontrolled process, it can have different outcomes in terms of color achieved and uniformity. The present example can be considered without a doubt an extremely successfully tropicalized specimen, with a very even and elegant dark tobacco tonality throughout all three counters. The presence of the original guarantee, box and the condition like new makes of the present timepiece is sure to impress even the most discerning collectors. Signed : Dial, Case and Movement.
