The present lot is being offered by the family of the original owner, a French engineer who bought it in Paris in the early 1940s. This 987/2 has maintained a strong factory edge to its case and has good definition to the faceted lugs. Its attractive oversized case for the period, allows a great opportunity for a new collector to step into vintage collecting.
