This rare vintage wristwatch comes with a triple calendar with hand date display and windows for day of the week and month in English writing, offering a high level of complication without losing any of its elegance. The two-tone silvered dial provides a magnificent contrast to the lightly faded blue of the outer date display, the applied gold Breguet numerals and the red tip of the central date hand. The large, fluted lugs lend the watch its dynamic appearance and the strong presence on the wrist – making it a perfect addition to any fine collection of vintage timepieces.
