This watch has been sold.

The first Reverso was produced in 1931, and remarkably, its design has remained nearly unchanged within all the decades that came. The story behind this iconic watch began in 1930, when Cesar De Trey—a successful Swiss businessman and watch dealer—visited India and attended a spirited polo match, a popular sport of the time. After the game, a British army officer remarked in frustration about the frequent breaking of his watch crystal during play and, with a touch of humor, challenged De Trey to create a classic, elegant timepiece that could withstand the impacts of a polo match while still being suitable for formal occasions. This request sparked the creation of the Reverso. Scroll down to read more about this lovely example.
