The present reference, manufactured in the 1950s is a very rare example. No scholarship exists as to when the reference was introduced or how many were made. One can find a handful appearing at auction of the last two decades.
In line with the ever growing demand for more unusual case designs, the present watch illustrates the period in that it was made and how the lines and case designs really did mirror that of the architecture and its influence on society during the 1950s.
