A “Paintless Wonder” Chronomatic Monaco
Watch Details
Chronomatic version has midnight blue metallic paint; polished steel hands, with luminous inserts and square ends
Notes
On early samples, the “midnight blue” paint degraded so that dial appears to be brass. Collectors refer to these Monacos as “Paintless Wonders”. We see similar degradation in the dials of blue Silverstones and Daytonas.
