Thanks for sharing these unique pieces Imran, and many thanks also to the "salmon 5196" collector who agreed to share publicly! It obviously can't get more exclusive that this, and indeed for a remarkably important reference! ;-) Enjoy.

Million Dollar dial: A special Easter egg at the end.

What’s in a dial? Everything. You can have a poor movement or the very best, and elegant case, rarity of metal, but ultimately “she” has to look beautiful- at least in your eyes. The dial is possibly, no it is, the most important part in the desirability ...  

Wow! Just wow!

Interesting there was a ref with the applied numerals, number 7, overriding into the seconds dial. The salmon dial is pure delight. Thanks for sharing. -kevin

The first picture really caught my eye, but dear me you really topped it with the unique 5196P with salmon dial! I am a sucker for those numerals, dial, and hands. Incredible.

Exactly my thoughts.

And how incredible to have found and been able to meet such a collector. A collector like this is as rare as his watches these days. What a find well done. For me the the history and evolution of the 5196 is why I love it so much but it also just so happe...
