Bucherer - Classical Heritage - No reserve price - Mechanical - 18ct Gold Plated - 20M - Men - 1997

Fascinating and refined Bucherer Classical Heritage wristwatch, a model of extraordinary elegance that fully expresses the prestige and historic craftsmanship of one of the Swiss maisons most famous and respected, inseparably linked to high watchmaking and the selection of gems and the most precious mechanisms since 1888. This line stands out in both vintage and modern landscapes for its ability to condense the dictates of the most rigorous Swiss tradition into a pure and minimalist design, positioning itself as an absolute class choice for the most demanding collectors. This specific specimen captures attention thanks to a wonderful clear dial enriched by classic Roman numeral indices and embellished with the iconic blue-blued steel feuille hands, offering a magnetic and bygone-color contrast. At 6 o'clock, the small seconds counter with circular guilloché finish created by concentric circles provides depth and extreme geometric dynamism to the dial. The display case back in sapphire reveals the beating heart of the watch: a high-grade manually wound movement based on the famous ultra-thin Caliber Peseux 7001 customized by Bucherer, finely decorated with contrasting blued screws and splendid Côtes de Genève on the bridges, a true engineering spectacle for the eyes.

The watch is presented in absolutely exceptional aesthetic and mechanical condition, maintained with meticulous care that has preserved the full brilliance of the case and the sharpness of every single original detail. To greatly increase its collectible and investment value is the presence of its complete set of original period documents, a rarity that attests to provenance and absolute integrity.
