This unique ref. 6062 is special for a number of reasons. It is the only known example of the ref. 6062 with a black dial and diamond indexes, and it belonged to the last emperor of Vietnam, who was quite the character. Many expected it to break the previous Rolex record (held by a split-seconds chronograph ref. 4113 sold by Phillips just 12 months ago), but the Bao Dai smashed past the CHF 2.5 million mark right from the start, and the only unknown left was how far collectors would go for this watch.
