Description:
A charming and rare vintage Lip watch with a warm brown and green dial and a timeless, elegant design. The watch is powered by the reliable 21-jewel D451 mechanical caliber. These watches incorporated German movements purchased by LIP from Durowe in the early 1970s, during a period when the factory was facing many problems between its owners and workers. It is a rare and hard-to-find piece.
The 32 mm case gives it a compact and elegant presence on the wrist, typical of dress watches from the 1960s and 1970s. The gold-plated case, paired with the brown and green dial, gives the watch a sophisticated vintage aesthetic, while the brown leather strap provides a clean contrast.
Produced during a golden age of French watchmaking, this watch reflects the heritage and craftsmanship for which Lip is highly regarded. Ideal for collectors or anyone looking for a classic piece to wear with elegance and sophistication.
