This beautiful Breitling chronograph has a sleek silvered dial, that provides a stage for a breathtaking range of functions, including a calendar with day and month display in French, pointer date and moon phase, as well as a 30-minute and 12-hour counter. Pink gold-plated rectangular hour-markers, alpha hands and a red crescent-tipped date hand ensure easy legibility. The warm 18 K pink gold case has a stepped bezel with beautifully facetted lugs and epitomises the aesthetics and style of the 1950s.
