A very attractive vintage wrist chronograph

Sold

The sturdy steel case of this Minerva chronograph dating from the 1950s is almost immaculate and only shows minute signs of wear. The original dial with finely patinated luminous numerals and hands is equally perfect. The chronograph movement is in likewise excellent condition and starts immediately.

Minerva gained a reputation early on as a manufacturer of complicated movements of exceptional quality. In 2006, Minerva was bought by the luxury goods group Richemont.
