03 / Editorial story
A reason to look again.
The Day-Date of this era carries its authority without raising its voice. In yellow gold, Ref. 1803 pairs the day and date display with the "Morellis" dial — a dial named for the dealer context it is known by, and one that gives this 1969 example its own face.
The record travels with it: the original 1969 guarantee and the chronometric bulletin remain with the watch, presented as folder views only.
