- Description
The 1970's brought us brightness, bell bottoms, tie-dye tee shirts, and beautiful starbust dials like the one on this stunning Wakmann Gigandet Triple Date Chronograph. During this era, the quartz crisis brought near complete destruction of the Swiss watch industry, but this didn't stop the Valjoux watchmakers and designers from taking their premier Chronograph, the Valjoux, and advancing it further by raising the beat rate to 21,600 and further refining other aspects of it, producing the masterpiece that is the Valjoux 730 Movement in this watch.
The excellence of this antimagnetic watch speaks for itself-- it has beautifully navigated the test of time, the case protecting the watch movement perfectly, and remains attractive and in-style with a sporty flare. The 18K Yellow Gold Plated Stainless Steel case measures approximately 38mm in diameter and has a solid Stainless Steel case back with a signature engraving. The silver-tone dial is superb, with functions including hour, minute, day/date, month, 30 minute, and 12-hour counters. This fine watch is complete with its original Wakmann 18K Yellow Gold Plated Stainless Steel link bracelet that measures approximately 17mm (wide) and can fit up to an 8-inch wrist. The bracelet is enclosed with Stainless Steel deployment clasp. In today’s market, it is virtually impossible to come by this circa 1970's watch in Excellent, Like New condition such as this one. This beautiful timepiece would be an asset to any watch collection!
