    Up for your consideration is my Favre Leuba Bathy 50. This is an outstanding collectors piece that you rarely see come up for sale. The Favre Leuba Bathy 50 reference was produced in the 60’s and was the first example of a watch with an analog depth gauge! This watch is in impeccable condition, practically new old stock. The pictures below can speak for themselves but they do not do this watch justice. I’ve been collecting now for over 15 years and this watch is by far the best example of a vintage watch that I have ever owned.

    Movement: High grade, manual wind Peseux Cal 320

    Dial: The black dial with white and red accents is in flawless condition. The tritium lume plots and the original tritium hands have aged beautifully.

    Case Size: 40mm

    Lug width: 20mm

    Bezel: Bidirectional dive bezel with lume plot

    Watch is located in Ontario Canada if you want to arrange for a FTF.

    Priced at $7,700 USD

    Lots of references available, free to answer any questions

    Thanks for looking

    And I still miss it!

    And I will never forget how my jaw dropped when I opened the package. Looked NOS to me...

    A truly incredible watch from a great seller. You will not be disappointed...

    This watch is beautiful, so I'm assuming it's not the watch it's the price. So the price has been reduced to $8,400. I believe this to be a more than fair price. Currently there are two on Chrono24, with prices of $13,800 and $11,000 USD.
