Franchi Menotti - Milano Tonigiani RARO "Esemplare N. 377" Swiss Made - Fondo a Vista - Men - 1990-1999

I am selling a splendid and rare Franchi Menotti Milano “Tonigiani,” a Swiss Made mechanical watch from a limited edition run, with an individually numbered specimen No. 377.

A watch that is decidedly distinctive, characterized by a large case and a very elaborate dial, with a truly substantial presence on the wrist.

The beautiful blue/gray dial features a three-dimensional finish, large applied Roman numerals, central minute track, and small seconds at 9 o’clock. Completing the aesthetics are the luminescent-filled hands and the large FM-customized crown.

On the case back you’ll find one of the most fascinating elements of the watch: the large transparent bottom, which allows you to admire the manual-wind Swiss mechanical movement, customized FRANCHI MENOTTI MILANO – TONIGIANI, with indication 17 JEWELS – SWISS.
