That year, he produced and sold 20 subscription models. In 2003, the 1498 movement in rhodium-plated brass was replaced by the 1403 in pink gold, with the addition of a deadbeat seconds at 6 o'clock and a power-reserve indicator for greater legibility. The reference changes from T for Tourbillon to TN for Tourbillon Nouveau. Produced from 2003 to 2018, this reference is rare in a "double rose gold" or "pink on pink" variant with 18k rose gold case and dial, as is the case with our model. The watch is not stocked at the showroom, but can be viewed by appointment. For all bids for this lot, prior registration for a telephone line will be required.
