^ Went for $710. Crappy pictures but it looked clean. It was up to $600 a few hours before closing. I thought it would go higher. Anyone here get it?

A question here, if that's ok. I was lucky enough to get the original papers and the chronometer certificate with the watch. Was the chronometer certificate part of the regular delivery? Sorry, if the question is stupid but I am still new 😀

Papers always irk me, but as long as the serial is your movement serial, it’s an incredible find!

Out of curiosity how much was it, if I may ask?

Yep, the numbers match. I was lucky a few months ago. I was able to buy the C-Shape (without bracelet) and a 14900 on the bracelet, also with matching papers, for just under 2000€.

Already the 3rd one here - I thought the dial was rare! 😗

Ok I'll take the bait too - but the dial is rare - also 2 variants, I wildly overpaid for the one in the coffee photo, but at least it's the rare light variant - I have a 3rd one in storage thanks to @unsxr's heads up, yet to see what secrets that one holds

Under 2000 euros for those 2 watches together is just incredible

Your watches are very beautiful!

Yes, but that was also just luck and also risk. I bought the watches on a private sales platform, the pictures were bad and I transferred the money in advance.

Wow - you have 3 of the model, until recently I didn't even know that the leaf existed.👍

Collector life is full of ups and downs too 😀

Really excited for these crystals



Bent seconds hands 🙁 And the original style pivotless ones

This isn’t an eBay auction and I doubt it will be a bargain but I thought the C case devotees would appreciate seeing this little beauty up for auction in Monaco soon.
White gold C case with white gold bracelet in rather lovely condition ( the only fly in the ointment being the darkened lume in the minute hand)
The 1975 description is wrong of course. ( about 10 years out)

For the record, I have no affiliation with the watch or the auction house
