Breitling - Chronomat - B13048 - Men - 1992

An Exceptionally Valuable Collector’s Piece: Breitling Chronomat (Ref. B13048) – Full Set, Including Original 1993 Warranty Papers
Offered for sale is a stunning, classic Swiss automatic chronograph from Breitling’s golden era: the Breitling Chronomat B13048, presented in the highly sought-after two-tone (steel and gold) configuration. This timepiece is a true collector’s dream; it comes as a "full set," complete with its original international warranty document, stamped and dated December 1993.
Dial and Aesthetics:
The watch features a deep, sunburst-finished blue dial that shifts beautifully in shade depending on the lighting. The gold hands and hour markers provide a perfect contrast. The three sub-dials showcase a delicate guilloché pattern, while the date window is elegantly positioned at 3 o'clock.
Condition and Provenance:
• Case and Bezel: The 39mm stainless steel case is in excellent vintage condition, retaining sharp, well-defined lines. The bezel rotates smoothly, and the gold elements have preserved their original, crisp contours.
• Movement: It is powered by the legendary automatic Breitling Caliber 13 (based on the highly reliable Valjoux 7750 movement). The chronograph functions work perfectly: starting, stopping, and resetting are all crisp and precise. The movement keeps excellent time.
• Strap: The watch comes with its original brown Breitling alligator/leather strap, featuring the brand’s marking on the inside; the buckle is also an original stainless steel Breitling buckle.
The complete set includes:
1. Original Breitling international warranty document (stamped and dated December 16, 1993; the serial number matches the number 16342 found on the case)
2. Original Breitling user manual and booklets
3. Original Breitling hexagonal, leather-covered inner presentation box
4. Original Breitling yellow outer box, complete with its watch-holding cushion
Shipping and Authenticity:
The watch is 100% authentic and comes with a fully documented history; its authenticity is verified by matching serial numbers found on the case back and the official documents.
