Ref. 3418 & 3419 are called ‘ Convertible ’ because the 35mm case of these models, made only in stainless steel , has an unusual design, where the lugs of the leather strap or Milanese bracelet are detachable . To do this, you just need to unscrew the bac...

I actually found 2 models on C24: a 3418 with Milanese bracelet in Switzerland and a 3419 with Beyer dial and leather strap in Italy. But they retail above €20k, which I really find to high even if their collectibility is undeniable. Best. ...  

I was looking at a 5130R-020, that a dealer had on consignment for over a year. Having been born in Munich, that special edition would have been a great addition to my collection, but the price was far above of what 020s had ever been achieving at auction...

I would love to be a customer.

But who knows what may come next (probably not in the near future, though)?

timeless in design ! The Milanese bracelet looks very comfortable.
