CATALOGUE NOTE

Production of the over-sized reference 570 began in 1938 with a subsidiary seconds model. A year later, in 1939, a centre seconds version was introduced.

The present wristwatch is a highly desirable version of the reference for its large size, rare steel case and full arabic numerals which are an unusual dial configuration for this model.
