This reference 16523 model is fitted with Zenith calibre 4030; the 18 K gold and steel bicolour case features a beautiful dial shimmering in a warm gold tone with an upside-down "6" in the 12-hour counter and subsidiary dials set in black. An entirely harmonious watch, that was obviously treated with utmost care by its previous owner.
This watch comes from the original owner and has never been offered at auction. The dial is perfect, the case has been professionally refurbished and the movement is very clean, but a service is still recommended.
