That s when you really get a good idea of the incredible dial colors. The level of craftsmanship is pretty incredible. If you are able to check out the annual models at a Glashtte Original Boutique or authorized dealer, please do.The dials look amazing and I m sure you will get a better idea of the impact.

They have also swapped the Sixties Panorama Date for the Sixties Chronograph (ref. 1-39-34-04-22-04).
