1930s Movado Chronomètre Three-Tone Sector Dial | Flat Bezel | Ref. 12726 | Cal.75
Sold Out
At first glance, this watch calls to mind the Patek Philippe Calatrava 96, but in reality, it’s far rarer. The three-tone sector dial is the standout feature, shifting cleanly between silver, white, and glossy accents depending on the light, a detail that elevates the design beyond what photos can fully convey.
Flat-bezel watches are already uncommon and very coveted, but this particular layout is on another level. Fewer than five examples are known to exist with this exact configuration, and examples with center seconds are even harder to come by. This is the kind of reference that turns up once in a blue moon.
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.
