    Greetings!

    I offer for sale my Omega Speedmaster Perpetual Calendar Chronograph. This 18K gold piece is a limited edition of just 50 for the Japan market only, released in 1991. According to the Omega Museum, it is the most complicated Omega ever produced in series. My example comes on a black leather Omega strap and also includes the extremely rare 18K gold bracelet which is brand new in plastic as well as the extremely rare watch-winder box (Euro plug) original to this model (though it is not the one that came with this piece when it was first sold). I am also including the Extract of the Archives for this piece from the Omega Museum.

    This is an extremely rare piece and you will not find another one for sale. If you have any interest in this piece, I strongly recommend jumping on it now, as there will likely never be another opportunity to own this piece of Omega history. This is also the only example that I or any of my associates could find that has been offered with the rare 18K bracelet.

    This watch can be seen at the bottom right corner of the Omega Museum Speedmaster site: http://www.omegamuseum.com/node/97
    "OMEGA Speedmaster Perpetual created in 50 examples to celebrate the 700th. anniversary of Switzerland.
    This watch with perpetual calendar and chronograph is the most complicated watch ever produced in series by OMEGA."

    It was also featured in Speedy Tuesday on Fratello Watches here: http://www.fratellowatches.com/speedy-tuesday-omega-speedmaster-perpetual-calendar/ Please note that there is one inaccuracy in the article stating that the piece has a sapphire crystal, which is incorrect -- it has an acrylic crystal, which I have confirmed is the correct crystal for the model.

    The watch is in excellent condition and is running perfectly, keeps excellent time, and all functions work as they should. The shop had it serviced by Omega before I purchased it last year.

    Again, I can't stress enough, this is likely the only time you will ever have the opportunity to purchase this piece. I don't say that as a salesperson to sell the watch, but as a fellow collector doing some well-justified enabling. :)

    My price for this piece is $24,950 OBRO including shipping within CONUS. Payment must be by bank wire. Shipping will be via USPS Registered Mail as it is the only way I can insure it for the full amount (so it'll take a few days to arrive if you're far from me).

    I believe this to be an extremely reasonable price for this watch in this condition. If you keep it maintained in excellent condition, it can only go up from here. That said, I am open to offers, but no trades please.

    As I'm selling this piece out of financial need, I cannot accept returns.

    It would certainly look nice along side the white gold moon phase and maybe a skeleton speedy.. ;)

    Do you only ship in the US or would you ship it to the UK?

    I would prefer to ship only within the USA, but for the extra cost of postage and logistics I can ship to UK.

    I have an international shipping solution worked out just in case a buyer from overseas decides to purchase. :)

    Bump. Once-in-a-lifetime chance here. If you collect rare vintage Omegas or rare/LE Speedmasters, it really doesn't get much more rare and epic than this Perpetual Calendar Chronograph.

    I remember when you made a post about this after acquiring it -- this thing is incredible! ::love::

    If it lasts until tomorrow, you're going to see it in our weekly Market Watch(ing) article.

    Cool! I'm surprised it's lasted this long to be honest. Maybe people are still waiting for tax returns or something. But I have a feeling a lot of people are going to regret not having jumped on it when it finally does sell.

    Even though it might be a good price for the watch, $25K is no small sum in general. I think it'll sell rather quickly though.
