The old days
You might be surprised, but both iconic sport watches from Patek and AP, the Royal Oak and the Nautilus had no second hands in their initial iteration, being powered by almost the same movement as this one. They used however the 2121/28-255C variant that ...
Indeed!
But still, most two handed watches you see are with manual movements. Best Blomman
