The present model was launched in 1994 and produced in a limited series of 500 pink gold examples. For the first time, a minute repeating complication was fitted to the iconic Reverso case. The movement is comprised of over 300 hand-finished components with a special ringtone regulator visible to the dial which regulates the train rotation and harmonizes the striking time.  The present lot is offered in excellent overall condition from a private collector, with the manufacturer's protective sticker still apparent to the case back.
