Pryngeps - late 50’s radium?

Hi all,

There seems to be precious little about Pryngeps online apart from that they were based in Milan and started out in 1956. I stumbled across this watch whilst casually browsing eBay, and was immediately taken by the dial patina. Based around the banning of radium dates early 60’s I am presuming this to be a late 50’s model. It is running a sturdy looking AS1130 movement.

I love the radium burn around the centre hand area as well as from the numeral dots which seem to have created a caramel halo effect. The bracelet needs a good clean but apart from that I absolutely love it.

Anybody else have one?
