    Up or sale is this all original Favre-Leuba Duomatic 36000 a/h "tv screen" from the '70 with integrated bracelet.

    Founded by Abrahm Favre in 1737, it is known as the oldest watch brand after Blancpain founded just two years earlier.

    Case: 38mm (excluding crown), it wears also a bit bigger due to the square proportions and large bracelet.

    All unpolished stainless steel, with the factory finish in perfect conditions (alternate brushed and polished parts). Normal signs of use.
    Original signed crown.

    Dial: stunning tv shaped silver dial, the round central part is finished in a linen pattern with vertical brushing, i tried to capture it in different light conditions to show how it changes depending on the angle.
    Hands and indices have a honey color natural patina.

    Bracelet: it is the well known Chatelain bracelet that was used by JLC on the Master Quartz, by Breitling on the '70 Transocean chrono, and also by Omega, Zenith and other manufacturers. Signed Favre-Leuba clasp.
    An incredible bracelet even by today standards, massive but extremely comfortable with all solid links.

    It has two closing points (see photos) and it is suitable for wrists with a diameter of circa 17,5-18cm on the first closing and 19cm on the second

    Movement: FL cal. 1164 (day-date) High frequency 36000 a/h, this caliber was made in collaboration with other manufacturers, Girard Perregaux and Zodiac. It has the fast date change that works pushing the crown in and the hacking seconds function.
    Not recently serviced but in good working conditions.

    I'm asking 430Euro plus shipping to the EU only, the watch is located in Italy.
    References available on request.

    Thanks for looking!
