ABOUT THIS WATCH
The Chronograph model appeared in 1997 on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Royal Oak. With a diameter of 39 mm like the iconic "Jumbo", it is equipped with the caliber 2385, the thinest automatic chronograph movement at the time.
It takes its nickname from the famous Russian chess player Garry Kasparov who regularly wore the steel version of this watch.
The specific model here is part of a very rare series of only 25 pieces released in 2002 and made for the Parisian retailer Dubail. Its case and bracelet are made of steel, and features a grey dial with black sub-counters and square indexes that are usually reserved for models made of precious alloys. The platinum bezel has a fully polished finish. The inscription on the back of the case specifies the serial number XX/25 and mentions "Lunette en platine" (platinum bezel in french). The caliber 2385 is visible through a transparent case back allowing to see the oscillating weight personalized for Dubail.
