Glossy Black Gilt Dial

Milgauss Black Swan 1019 — Glossy Black Gilt Dial

Undated

True glossy gilt dial on which the red “Milgauss” looks printed in relief, unlike the matte dial where it sits on top. Perhaps the rarest 1019: HODINKEE counts three known, one sold by Phillips in 2017 for CHF 150,000.
