Prince once sang "Sometimes it snows in April"
We haven't seen a snowflake here this winter but Tudor has the matching watch hands.

Looks great. Is it a 14704 case?

Close -- it's a 14722. The serial no. dates the watch to 1959/1960, it runs on a Cal.520. I have some evidence that the movement was actually manufactured in 1957, since the factory which made the 520 was permanently closed down in 1957. So, maybe, this is kind of a 'birth year' (1957) watch for me 😀

That is stunning, would be an instant purchase for me too.
Are you sure it's patina not design?

It's the famous pepperoni dial!

One in a million......... or to bring a Dairy flavour to it ( rather than pepperoni) a fine aged vintage cheese.

Wish it were mine.
