FS: FS: Rare Alpina cal. 592 from 50's first "4" series MINT

For sale is my very cute Alpina vintage from beginning of 50's.
It is equipped with 592 caliber, one of the most reliable from the brand at this time, kicking of the "4" serie of the brand (standing for 1) Antimagnetic, 2) Antishock, 3) Water-resistant and 4) Stainless steel) just re-issued this year.
It is keeping very good time and caliber is very clean (see pictures). Double protection back case with outside one screwing.
This on is in amazing condition and fully original. Dial haven't been renewed and look almost perfect with only few signs of age.
Tritium indexes have taken a great patina matching perfectly with hands.
It comes with a very nice and very smooth vintage like leather straps brand new.
Diameter is 35mm but look larger as dial is quite open.
A nice detail is that this one have been offered by the City of Bienne (land of Omega and many other in Switzerland) to congratulate a someone for its 25 years of good service in 1951!
Nice one for a 63 years old grand ma', isn't it?

Price is 650 USD incl shipping worldwide.
Watch is in Switzerland.
