Original rare blue / purple dial
Original blue dial with that has turned purple. Similar to brown tropical dials, many of these blue dials changed colour to purple due to exposure to sun, making each one unique. Signed “T Swiss T” indicating the use of tritium luminous on the dial. The dial has not been touched by us and remains in excellent original condition with small signs of age.
