Unusual and Rare Retro Tressa Automatic - AS 2066

I bought this watch almost 10 years ago and I consider the design of this watch is the maddest and yet beautiful in a somewhat kitsch way. Gold and black and silver colour from the steel case creates a combination not often seen. Although I must admit not everyone who have seen the watch shares the same enthusiasm... but I like it!
