Description

the case retains its original finish and is lacking the bottom with a replaced backboard and replaced mirror tablet. The dial and rotating blocks retain their original paint with minor flaking on the dial between 9 and 10. We have sold another example of the Kosmic in 2008 for $21,500 plus 12.5% buyer's premium. There were believed to be only 6 Kosmics made previously, this unknown example now come to market, stamped "14", may mean further research is necessary. Ht 29"
