Minerva
An extremely rare vintage wristwatch with chronograph and full calendar
Sold
This is a vintage classic piece of outstanding quality in almost immaculate condition, with detailed calendar indications and a beautiful dial, featuring an outer black date ring and two windows for the day of the week and the month. The red arrow tip of the date hand stands out from the delicate shimmer of the silvered dial and creates a perfect blend with the blued steel hands and the gentle patina of the indexes‘ luminous material. Together with the polished bezel and the bevelled lugs the design lends this timepiece a spirited and exciting appeal. It is fitted with vintage chronograph movement calibre Valjoux 72, which was used for many years in the Rolex Daytona for example – a true 1950s classic of superior quality.
