Picard Fils represents the discreet elegance of traditional Swiss watchmaking from La Chaux-de-Fonds, one of the most important historical centres of horology. During the golden age of mechanical wristwatches, many independent Swiss makers produced refined and reliable timepieces, often in small quantities, with great attention to proportion and detail. This example reflects that era beautifully. The balanced Arabic numeral dial, slim blued hands and warm gold plated case create a classic dress-watch appearance, while the mechanical 17-jewel movement inside preserves the honest craftsmanship of mid-century Swiss production. Its aged dial is part of its charm: every mark and tone variation tells the story of decades of use, making this watch not just a timekeeper, but a preserved fragment of Swiss horological history. The watch will be carefully packed and shipped insured. Internal Reference Number - ITA 80
