About the Item

A handsome and mechanically robust vintage chronograph from the 1950s, this Chronograph Suisse features a substantial 37mm case crafted in 18KT rose gold—a generous size for the period. The multi-scale dial has aged beautifully with even patina, displaying twin chronograph registers, a telemeter scale, and elegant gold-tone hands and hour markers, evoking classic post-war tool watch design. Housed inside is the revered Valjoux 23 manual wind chronograph movement, known for its reliability and slim profile. This reference combines vintage sport chronograph functionality with a refined rose gold case, making it an excellent choice for collectors seeking character, utility, and charm in one package.
