A very unique and rare NOS Favre-Leuba Quartz 32768Hz from the early 1970s
This watch is especially interesting for using the caliber 353 developped by Girard-Perregaux and known as the first “modern” Swiss quartz. This caliber was used by Jaeger-Lecoultre, Girard Perregaux, and more rarely Favre-Leuba.
The watch was sourced from a lot of new old stock pieces from a collector’s estate in Switzerland.
Excellent condition, never worn, but can still have some minor defects due to storage and handling through the years.
Big stainless steel case with a brushed finish on the front and polished sides.
Silver brushed dial
Applied black and silver indexes and matching hands
Signed crown
Screwed back with remaining of the original protective layer
Vintage unsigned black leather strap
The case measures 36mm without crown, 42mm lug to lug, 14mm thick with a 20mm lug width.
It is powered by a quartz caliber Girard-Perregaux 353. It runs and keeps time. It has never been serviced.
