Title: Outstanding 18k Pink Gold Breitling Premier
Description: EXCELLENT/NEARMINT condition. Boy. These watches (vintage gold Breitling chronographs) have completely disappeared from the market. We used to buy and sell early snap backs like this and later screw back models with round pushers all the time. The prices were much lower two or three years ago too. It means that supply has shrunk, especially with nearmint examples. This qualifies. The original dial is almost perfect. It is just about a good as you can get for a 60 year old watch. The case is also in superb condition. One measure of wear is to look at the back where the watchmaker's knife blade is inserted. You are able to see in the close-up shots that it has little wear in that area. In addition, you can see that the original brushed finish on the sides is un-buffed and almost like new. The movement (Venus Caliber 175) also carries the same condition and runs to perfection with the chronograph hand setting to the 10th second perfectly. Three nice examples of this rare watch have been purchased from an astute collector. One has a nice black dial and may be available a bit later. Notice the large monogram on the back. Model 760 with case number 630973. These models are not thin or tin can like we call some typical gold chronos of this era. They are thick and heavy. Measures 35.4 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 12 mm thick. {$2395} Item #4234 SOLD TO JV
