Such a clean watch and a movement with great history. Nearly impossible to catch it on a picture, though. Parts of the hour markers, Logo and hands always look different.

Key Points from the Discussion

The specific model shared is a beautiful white gold limited edition, notable for its discrete aesthetic achieved through the white metal and black dial combination.
The Caliber 1120 movement is renowned for its ultra-thin profile and rich history, making it a true gem within horology.
While the Caliber 1120 is historically significant, its rate accuracy in daily wear is not a primary concern for collectors who rotate watches frequently, as long as it performs within reasonable parameters.
The original author provided additional context with a picture of the AD's catalog from the watch's release year, offering historical documentation for German-speaking readers.

It‘s an edition they‘ve made in 2018 for the 275th anniversary of a german ad.

Here‘s a picture of the AD‘s catalog from that year describing the watch, in case you understand german, and an older picture of it.

Agree. Gutruf is a very good name, if you have this kind of business. Never thought about that before 😅
