The queen of the party here is the case, a huge 39mm yellow gold excluded crown that makes this watch very nice and contemporary to wear. It looks untouched to me, pushers are in great conditions, signed crown is a later replacement. Inside the signed snap back the engraved serial case number is fully readable and dates back to early 50s. Lug width 20mm. Original dial in nice conditions, with a quite even and warm creamish patina. Everything is fully readable. Original hands set in nice conditions. Valjoux-based caliber 16000 was fully serviced by my trusty watchmaker in september '23 and works fine. As many of you for sure know, on these the lower pusher works as a slider that stops and starts the sweep second when the chronograph is running, without resetting. Watch comes on an almost new genuine crocodile dark grey strap and an original, probably later, Eberhard buckle.
