Ref.2526 "Tropical" is a very rare 18KRG ebony dial. The dial was made of ceramic at the time, and it was designed to keep its beautiful color semi-permanently by preventing deterioration caused by humidity and sunlight. This model is called an ebony dial, and it is a rare early model of tropical watches where the holes for indexes on the dial look like ebony. It comes with a very valuable original Gayflair bracelet and archives from that time. The dial and case are in very good condition.
