Catalogue Note

This series of the iconic Speedmaster, originally created for racing drivers, was produced only for three years, from 1996 to 1999. The watches are distinguished by their presentation cases that resemble the wheels of a racing car. The present lot is a rare opportunity to acquire the complete series.
