Dimensions: H x W x D: 22 x 18 x 13.5 cm
Description:
On offer is a super rare All Original White Atmos.
The watch was produced under the Ref. 5845 in the 1970s and 1980s. However, only a very small number of pieces were produced, as gold-plated watches were the most popular at the time. This is why most silver models that appear on the market today from the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s are former gold models that have been nickel-plated, rhodium-plated or platinum-plated. Original nickel-plated watches like these are very rarely offered in the art trade.
Distinguishing between original and subsequently nickel-plated watches is not easy for the layman. There are a few details to look out for:
The underside of the base has a different degree of lustre than the top. The plates and the panelling of the pressure box are matt brushed and not shiny. There are some gold wheels in the movement. The dial is not "pure white", but has a subtle metallic lustre.
The model offered here is an Atmos V with calibre 526.
