Introduced in 1950 and produced through to the 1960s, the ref. 2554 was made in a variety of different styles. Perhaps the most well-known shape of the series is the ‘Manta Ray’, with an angular flared side resembling the marine creature. It is this particular reference that inspired the limited edition ref. 5100 launched in the year 2000.
