WHY IS THIS WATCH IMPORTANT

Finding a complete all-original Movado triple calendar is no small feat, especially one in unpolished condition. This exceptional example features applied Breguet numerals, a rare Fab. Suisse dial crafted for the French market, and exquisite fancy lugs. The dial showcases a warm patina, adding character to its mint, lightly worn state. A true rarity in remarkable condition, this piece is a testament to Movado's timeless craftsmanship.

The vintage Movado market has surged in recent years, elevating the brand status among collectors. The brand was founded in 1881, and ever since, it's been known as one of Switzerland's most diverse and recognizable watch brands. Water-resistant chronographs are some of the most searched pieces in the Movado world. 

The dial is in a two-tone configuration, with rose gold hands and applied markers, a blue date track is also present.

 

CONDITION

This watch is a time travel to the 50s, with the unpolished and sharp case, the dial has some even aging but remains beautiful.

The watch ins in good working order and keeps a good time.
