The design epitomized the flamboyant progression of Bauhaus design into pop culture futurism that was common in the era. The classic cushion-shaped chronograph reissue is lovely and exclusive -- its availability is limited to 1,000 units. 87 Uniqueness While this specific model is limited to just 1,000 watches, the Monaco line is purely iconic; this version encompasses everything that is integral to the Monaco heritage.
