Nicknamed "Canapé" due to its case shape, the reference 2404 was launched in 1945 and remained in production for 10 short years. It was available in either yellow or pink gold and is powered by the lavish caliber 9 90. The intricate case was manufactured by Markowski, a foremost shape watch casemaker. The classic dial was manufactured by Stern Frères and features matching gold indexes and a small second counter.
An estimated 300 yellow gold pieces and 200 pink gold were produced and a mere 20 of each have been offered back on the market, making this stylish piece a rare find.
