Description:
Offered is a super rare All Original White Atmos.
The watch was produced under the ref. 5845 in the 1970s and 1980s. However, only in a very small number of pieces, because the taste of the time was primarily for gold-plated watches. This is why most of the silver models from the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s that appear on the market today were formerly gold models that were newly nickel-plated, rhodium-plated or platinum-plated. Original nickel-plated watches like these are very rarely offered in the art trade.
It is not easy for the layman to distinguish originals from watches that have been subsequently nickel-plated. There are some details to look out for:
The underside of the base has a different gloss level than the top. The plates and the casing of the pressure box have a matt brushed finish and are not shiny. There are some gold wheels in the movement. The dial is not "pure white", but has a subtle metallic sheen.
The model offered here is an Atmos V with calibre 526.
Serial number: 397925
Year of manufacture: end of 1973 - beginning of 1974 - so it is one of the first nickel-plated watches with reference number 5845.
