VINTAGE 1950’s 18KT ROSE GOLD OVERSIZE 39mm CHRONOGRAPH WATCH .
Vintage 1950’s 18kt rose gold oversize 39mm chronograph watch ‘new-old-stock’ condition.
This fabulous vintage chronograph was manufactured in the mid 1950’s and is beautifully cased in 18kt. Rose Gold. This is a very large watch, measuring 39mm across the bezel (not including the crown) and 45.5mm tip to tip. Fully hallmarked to the outside of the back with Swiss 18kt gold marks and there is also a tiny 18kt hallmark on the side of the case.
The beautiful original gold dial has contrasting gold Arabic figures and dot divisions. 2 colour printed with inner black 60 second scale and outer blue tachometer scale. The dial is signed ‘chronograph Suisse- Antimagnetic 17 rubis’ along with ‘Swiss-Made’ under the six.
The good quality Landeron 148 movement is in very good condition. Keeping very good time and it runs well, winding and setting as it should. The chronograph hand starts smartly and snaps back exactly to 60 as it should.
The watch is in remarkable original condition, in close to ‘new old stock’ condition i would say. Swiss cased gold watches of this era are very difficult to date, as the Swiss hallmarking system makes little sense, but from experience we feel that this one was manufactured around 1955. Fitted with a new quality alligator-grain strap. this rare and very beautiful chronograph looks amazing on the wrist, you will struggle to find another in this wonderful condition.
