One of the first things that people learn when approaching the complex and vast world of vintage watches is that minor details can often make a tremendous difference in terms of rarity and value.
It could be the color of the date disc, the size of the crown, or a small print added to the dial or the case, such as the name of a retailer.
The signature of Serpico & Laino from Caracas in Venezuela is one of the most highly regarded in the history of watchmaking.
