Aquastar - 63 "Genève" - 1701 Tropical Dial (Circa 1965) - Full Service 2026 - No reserve price - Men - 1960-1969

Magnificent specimen for this legendary watch. Coming from the house Jean Richard, from which Aquastar was a offshoot.

The birth of Aquastar followed the filing by Jean Richard SA of a patent for a diving watch with an integrated rotating bezel, but also one of the first watches to present a water resistance rating of 200 meters.

The 63 was launched in the mid-1960s, and marketed to a targeted audience: divers. Standing out for a lower cost for the era compared to its competitors, it featured a rotating bezel system, the activation of which is by the crown.

The crown thus plays a double role: winding the movement and adjusting the inner bezel.
