calendar disc

Jan 03, 2013,06:35 AM
 

Dear forum members,

This beautiful calendar disc arrived and I am happy to share a photo with you. Cal is P810/A. From around 1950, case in 18 k pink gold. As far as I can see this model is quite rare. I dont see them much offered on auctions or ebay. Does anyone know if these calendar disc models were indeed produced in very small mumbers?
Kind regards,

The watch was in production for a few years, maybe 2 or 3 years, in the Fifties. The relatively small diameter of its case ( 33 mm, if I am not wrong ) may explain why, noawdays, we don't often speak of it. But this is a pity, as the Calendar Disk, in SS ...

Hi Nicolas, thanks for your response. Indeed 33 mm, but on your wrist it looks bigger in some way. And I agree, the design is marvelous!

Stunning example! :)

Hi Archy, and welcome here. Your question related to PR indication on an automatic watch is one that you share with many enthusiasts, I think. Have a look on my post here and look through the entire thread for some interesting examples of PR layouts. All...

Thank you nikolaj. I wasn't meaning to ask a question or start a new topic; I was just commenting on the fact that the catalogue posted in this thread shows what is presumably the original RdM, which I found of passing interest. But I take your point. Bes... 

Certainly agree that your point was relevant and interesting.

My intention was not to be a "besserwisser" or to correct you - but rather to encourage more discussion threads. Maybe it did not come across so clearly. Looking forward to reading more from you :)
