| For the early Reverso collector the red
lacquered dial remains the most elusive
and collected model. At the thematic
Reverso sale held by Antiquorum in
May 2011, the red dial example set
at the time the record for the most
expensive vintage Reverso to be sold at
auction, bringing Sfr 35'000 (lot 225).
This particular example has remained in
exceptional condition with a beautifully
preserved case and a perfect dial. |
