Introduction

The Tissot Ballade is a refined dress watch line from one of Switzerland's most historically significant watchmakers. Founded in Le Locle in 1853, Tissot has long been celebrated for combining Swiss watchmaking tradition with accessible elegance. This two-tone Ballade model showcases the classic aesthetic that made Tissot a favorite among collectors who appreciate understated sophistication.

Historical & Collector Value

The Ballade collection represents Tissot's dedication to timeless dress watch design, drawing inspiration from the golden age of classical watchmaking. This particular reference features a distinctive coin-edge fluted bezel in gold tone, reminiscent of prestigious dress watches from the era, paired with a beautifully textured guilloche-style dial. The combination of Roman numeral at 12 with applied gold-tone baton indices reflects a design language rooted in Tissot's long heritage since 1853. Vintage Tissot dress models like this are becoming increasingly sought after by collectors who value Swiss craftsmanship at a reasonable entry point, particularly in well-preserved two-tone configurations that are no longer produced in this exact style.
