AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare three-counter chronograph with triple date
from the 1950s, equipped with the very rare
Valjoux 72C movement, in an equally
impeccable condition. LEONIDAS chronograph, with
overiginal off-white dial, gold indices and tachymeter scale.
Its Valjoux 72C movement
runs beautifully and shows an accuracy
of 1 to 2 minutes per day. All chronograph functions
are perfectly operational. The original dial features the outer ring of the
tachymeter/telemeter. The case back is
stamped « 18K 1 0.75 » to indicate gold content and also bears the serial number
«568103 ». The chronograph
Valjoux 72C movement runs with power and
precision, to 1 or 2 minutes per day. All
chronograph functions are
perfectly operational.
Dimensions:
Width (including crown): 37 mm
Width (excluding crown): 35 mm
Lug-to-lug distance: 18 mm
Between lugs: 42 mm
Thickness (from back of case to top of the
bezel): 9 mm
Condition: Used: Very good original condition. The
original dial has intentionally been left in its patina during restoration. The
18-karat gold case shows signs
of wear, but not excessive polishing. The
Valjoux 72C movement has been completely overhauled (the photo of the inner mechanism was taken by the watchmaker during the overhaul)
