Catalogue Note:
Reference 116519 was launched at the 2000 Baselworld, equipped with the new self-winding chronograph movement – caliber 4130 – entirely designed and manufactured in-house. Incorporating innovative and patented technical solutions, this high-performance movement set a new standard for luxury self-winding chronographs in terms of robustness, reliability, efficiency and precision, as well as ease of maintenance.

This present lot, a Reference 116519, dates to circa 2000 and features a 40 mm 18k white gold Oyster case, a crisp white lacquer dial with applied white gold 'Arabic' indices and silver subsidiary register rings, a matching handset, and an brown alligator leather strap with a matching white gold folding clasp.
