Essay:  2425: Was launched in 1948 and produced only for one year in an extremely small quantities.  The production was made in yellow gold and a very few in rose (pink) gold.  The watch reflects the after war style design of mixing geometrical and voluptuous shapes.  This is considered as an oversized watch measuring 32 x 37 mm.  It was fitted with a round caliber 10”200, the best 10”’ caliber of its time.  The two piece snap back case was made by Jean Sogno, master case maker Geneva.  The case measures 8.7mm thick.  Today only 10 yellow gold watches, and 5 rose gold are identified back into the market.  One could believe that production shows a total of 60 pieces at about 5 a month which shows a single year of production.  The dials were made by Stern Freres.
