You have a point.
But it’s also wonderful that such a watch is actually worn. When I saw the sky-rocketing results of the recent Decade One Phillips auction, my thought was: so many beautiful watches which will spend the next 20 years in a safe… 😭 Best, Emmanuel
Such a complete package
A regal reference and specimen. You Wear it proudly: sizeable but very delicate at the same time
Not mine, unfortunately.

Hi Emmanuel, the fact that it is unpolished makes it now a

Yes, I would have loved to have the opportunity to get such a piece.
514 are pretty hard to find. Best, Emmanuel
I would love too, but I doubt that Aircooltime will ever consider selling it.
Meeting him and trying the watch on might be possible though...
