Designed by Lino Saltini for the German manufacturer and later distributed by the national phone company SIP (Società italiana per l’esercizio telefonico) from 1962 as the unified model rented out to all customers, the S62 was also known as “Bigrigio”, due to early models’ two tones of gray.
It was cabled and had a rotary dial to compose the numbers.
