Very attractive and highly sought after, the present reference 22430 stands out as an early and oversized steel chronograph. Dating to the mid 1940s, the watch has a diameter of 46 mm, a rarity for this time in production where few are known to the market. The massive stainless steel case with straight and solid lugs is a perfect example of excellent preservation, given its still sharp edges and its square buttons of the chronograph almost untouched, presenting on the back, the engravings of serial numbers and reference still perfectly intact. The dial aged incredibly, presenting an outstanding quality, with outer tachometer scale, minutes and seconds track, the three sunken subsidiary dials, Arabic indexes, the stick hands and the prestigious signature of the Italian retailer Verga at 12 o’clock.Estimate € 20000 - 40000
