Bugatti - Ellipse / Driver vintage - Unisex - 1980-1989

Vintage Bugatti Watch "Ellipse / Driver" Bicolor – EB110 Period (Late '80s / Early '90s) – Perfectly Functioning.

The Bugatti Myth on the Wrist: History and Design. I present at auction a rare and fascinating vintage Bugatti watch from the "Ellipse / Driver" line, a quartz movement model marketed mainly around the end of the 1980s to the early 1990s.

This iconic timepiece belongs to the famous and exclusive series of celebratory pieces distributed in conjunction with the rebirth of the historic car brand and the legendary debut of the Bugatti EB110 supercar. The watch design is a continuous homage to the motor world of the era: the oval/elliptical case in stainless steel is adorned by a splendid two-tone bezel with gold-plated screws, while the spectacular integrated bracelet in satin and polished steel explicitly echoes the links and geometry of a high-performance timing chain like the original.

Technical Details and Dial Iconography: Brand: Bugatti (Official License / Driver Line EB110 era). Movement: High-precision quartz (Perfectly functioning)
Dial: Light ivory/white background with black Arabic numerals and date window at 6 o'clock. At 12 o'clock sits the legendary and unmistakable red Bugatti oval emblem. Case and Bracelet: Solid stainless steel with finishes and details plated in yellow gold (Two-tone Style).Origin: Inscription "France" on the case back, indicating refined manufacture and assembly of the case and components.

The watch presents in good vintage condition and is fully functional in all its components, keeping excellent time and date change. Off the wrist, it proves to be an exceptional collectible piece with strong aesthetic impact.

For maximum commercial transparency to bidders, a few very small and physiological vintage age characteristics are noted (clearly visible in the photo gallery):
On close inspection, the dial shows some very slight and natural signs of time. This is a common feature in light-colored dials of this vintage series, which does not impair legibility or decorative appeal, but confirms its absolute vintage originality. The bracelet is equipped with a two-part safety clasp. It is noted that, rarely, one side may open if not pressed firmly; in any case, I recommend a tiny, simple millimeter-tightening of the clip by a watchmaker to restore the original tension. The watch comes with an elegant and sturdy wooden protective box. For accuracy, I specify that since I am not an expert and it was received by inheritance, I cannot be certain the box is the original Bugatti box contemporaneous with the watch, but it is provided as an excellent and valuable protective case for the lot.

Additionally regarding the case diameter, I measured with a ruler and noted 30 mm.

I guarantee excellent logistics to safeguard this rare piece of Bugatti history: The watch, placed in its wooden box, will be further wrapped with bubble wrap and other materials and placed in another box with additional padding to prevent vibrations.

Shipping will be entrusted exclusively to a leading international express courier (DHL / UPS / FedEx) with tracking code provided immediately after dispatch. The shipment will travel with full insurance covering the winning bid value, to ensure a serene and 100% protected transaction for the buyer."} } {
