The reference 1806 was officially associated with the so-called Florentine case finish, a hand-applied decorative motif of intersecting lines applied to the surface of the gold case. The present example displays a stepped "Wide Boy" dial, featuring large and muscular indexes with matching hands. The combination of the Florentine finish and the masculine flair of the dial confer this singular watch with a unique look.
