Seiko Momotaro, reference 2C20-654B, from the 1980s, with a quartz movement.
Description from the seller
An exceptional and highly collectible Seiko "Momotaro". Designed as a traditional Japanese Wason / Netsuke timepiece for kimono wear, it is famous for its unique "split-open" dual-door case—reminiscent of the peach opening in the Momotaro folk tale.
When closed, it forms an elegant octagonal shape with a beautiful black finish embellished with gold flakes (Maki-e style). When opened, the doors expand to reveal a stunning gold-brushed diamond-oriented dial with clean Arabic numerals and leaf hands.
While the "Momotaro" watch is occasionally found on the market, it is almost always missing its original accoutrements. This lot features a pristine, 100% complete original full set, significantly increasing its investment value for Catawiki buyers.
