An exquisite 1960s 18k yellow gold Bueche-Girod gents wristwatch
Vital Bueche founded Bueche-Girod in Bienne in 1947. The company garnered such respect from the 1950s through the 70s that brands such as Cartier, Bulova and Universal Geneve used their cases and movements in many of their pieces
Frank Sinatra was known to have worn a Bueche-Girod whilst not a small portion of Scorsese’s budget for his movie ‘Casino’ was spent on Robert De Niro’s tri-colour piece
This piece’s pristine champagne dial features tasteful black Roman numerals and black baton hands
The solid gold case remains in excellent shape with edges just as sharp as they were upon release. 18k gold ‘750’ fineness marks are stamped between both lugs
The brushed caseback is in very good condition with crisp reference numbers
Fitted is a vintage black alligator strap fastened by an ‘AW’ Swiss made solid 18k yellow gold buckle with a ‘750’ fineness stamp
The Swiss made, manual wind Bueche-Girod signed movement runs smoothly and keeps good time
Presented in original red leather Bueche-Girod box accompanied by original Bueche-Girod zip up black suede pouch
