Key Points from the Discussion

The 'Porthole' dial iteration is a particularly favored design among collectors, alongside the classic versions and the rare rose gold variant.
The Futurematic E 501 remains a highly desirable model for collectors, even for those actively trying to streamline their collections, due to its unique appeal.
Further examples of the E 501, such as a black dial variant, continue to emerge, illustrating the breadth of aesthetic options available for this reference.

Probably the Porthole iteration is my favourite but I love yours too, and that rose gold version is absolutely delicious as you say 😉 I have been thinking a lot about getting one some years ago as I really like this model but I’m not sure it makes sense in my collection now. I have struggled so long to concentrate and focus more and more on few pieces, it would not make sense to ad one now, but I still love them 😉

Is, in my view one of the most beautiful watches by JLC.
