Rado - Berg - No reserve price - Men - 1970-1979

--- Introduction --- The Rado Berg is a quintessential expression of 1970s Swiss design philosophy — a harmonious union of bold, cushion-shaped architecture and understated elegance. Produced by the La Chaux-de-Fonds manufacturer during its most prolific decade of creative output, the Berg model exemplifies the era's fascination with integrated design, where case, dial, and bracelet flow as a single cohesive statement. Its distinctive tonneau-cushion case in brushed and polished stainless steel is paired with a striking grey radiant sunburst dial that shifts from a luminous platinum centre to a deep charcoal periphery — a gradient rare in its depth and complexity. The applied baton hour markers and matching hands lend a clean, purposeful legibility that remains thoroughly contemporary. A date complication at the three o'clock position with a characteristically vibrant red date indicator adds functional distinction. This particular example is presented on its original stainless steel link bracelet with Rado-branded fold-over butterfly clasp, completing the integrated design vision with remarkable integrity. A compelling collector's piece for the serious student of vintage Swiss horology. --- Specifications --- Brand: Rado Series: Berg Reference: Not legible Movement: Automatic Case Material: Stainless steel Case Diameter: 34 mm Crystal: Mineral Dial: Grey radiant sunburst gradient, applied baton markers, red date display at 3 o'clock Case Back: Snap-back stainless steel Bracelet: Stainless steel link bracelet with Rado fold-over butterfly clasp Bracelet Length: Regular (approx. 180 mm) Gender: Men's Period: 1970–1979 Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: Good — honest signs of vintage wear commensurate with age and use Case & Bezel: The cushion case shows surface scratches and light scuffs on the lugs and bezel; no significant dents. Evidence of previous light polishing on the case flanks. Dial & Crystal: The grey radiant dial displays characteristic vintage patina; light hazing visible in the central zone consistent with age. The crystal shows surface scratches typical of a vintage timepiece. No chips or cracks observed. Bracelet & Clasp: The stainless steel link bracelet exhibits visible surface scratches and wear marks across individual links. The Rado fold-over butterfly clasp shows significant scratching on the outer face. All links secure; clasp functions correctly. Functions: The automatic movement winds and the date complication advances. The crown operates as expected. Accuracy has not been independently verified. --- International Shipping & Customs --- This watch will be shipped internationally.
