AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An exceptionally elegant and highly collectible vintage Breitling men's wristwatch from the 1950s,

This timepiece stands out with its beautifully preserved 35mm gold-plated case, characterized by its distinctive and stylish "fancy lugs" that give it an impressive, refined presence on the wrist. The case back is correctly marked with the reference/serial number 149 19.
The silver-white dial is in great condition, showcasing classic Arabic numerals, elegant hands, and a beautifully detailed, recessed sub-second (small seconds) register at the 6 o'clock position.
Importantly for collectors, the high-quality Swiss mechanical hand-winding movement inside is double-signed.
The watch is in very good cosmetic condition, runs accurately, and keeps proper time. To complete its sophisticated mid-century look, the watch comes fitted with a brand-new, premium brown quality leather strap.
A timeless and scarce piece of Breitling history, perfect for serious collectors of vintage Swiss horology.
