Up for sale is my 218238. This one has been in my family since new.
This is a great specimen in great condition with virtually no bracelet stretch! Those familiar with Day Dates and president bracelets know this tells the tale of how much the watch was worn. The watch saw much more box-time than wrist. There is a GORGEOUS patina to the entire watch and bracelet. Everyone that sees it comments that it has a near-rose-gold look to it. That’s the unique part that I’m going to miss the most. It’s been a huge conversation starter. Hoping this finds a wonderful new owner who appreciates this as much as we do.
Watch comes with 22 links not including the end links, that’s 7 removable screws. The original big presentation box, the original manual (in German), and the original warranty card signed in 2009, red chronometer hangtag, warranty card sleeve, and original soft “protection pad” that covers the watch dial when closing the box.
The condition of the watch is carefully used. Gold is a soft metal, it has the expected swirlies but no dings or fleabites to speak of. There is some patina discolouration on some of the bracelet links which neither I nor the original owner found relevant enough to justify cleaning the gorgeous “rose-gold-ish” patina from the watch, but of course you can easily brighten this back to sparkling shiny yellow gold by using the appropriate cleaners.
A new comparable will set you back approximately $60k. This is a heavy chunk of gold!
Pricing this one at a very reasonable $48,000.
Plenty of references on-site here. You are welcome to message me with any questions you may have!
Watch and I are in the GTA. Happy to offer F2F or shipping via insured Flagship.
