There were many dial variations in the later models, but only very few examples were made in either yellow or pink gold. The star dial or 'Stelline' was among the first batch made in the series, stands out as the rarest and most coveted. This 'Stelline' example, preserved with a restored dial, features all the beautifully harmonizing elements of the finest reference 6062. The case displays a crisp and clearly readable reference and serial number between the lugs, with the original Super Oyster crown intact. This timepiece is absolutely exceptional and is rare to see comparable example emerging on the market today.
