Essay: 

2503:  Reference 2503 was launched in1951 and is only known to have been cased in yellow gold and pink gold. The present example is one of less than ten known today in yellow gold.   Its rectangular shape is highlighted by the very prominent lugs and its silver dials set with Arabic and arrow shaped numerals. 

Upon first seeing the rare Ref. 2503, collectors will immediately notice the ‘bunny ear lugs’ on the sharp, 18K yellow gold Markowsky case, which give this reference somewhat of a whimsical yet highly refined look when secured to the wrist by the original black lizard strap.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that the watch has a distinct depth to it when on the wrist, thanks to the domed crystal that follows the curvature of the case. All of this is tied together beautifully by the clean aesthetic of the dial, with its applied numerals and slender leaf-shaped hands that are sure to excite for generations to come.
