Triple Calendar Chrono 175.0044

Hey guys,

I picked up this watch at today's Sotheby's auction. I've been in the market for a Speedmaster and had never seen one of these before this auction. I think it's beautiful with the pink gold bezel and really hadn't explored or ventured into the world of triple calendar moonphase. Also came with box, card and booklet which I thought was nice.

For me, I think the watch is a beauty and can't wait for its arrival. Does anybody know much about these watches? I've tried looking a bit on the internet and can't really find much. Also seems like it wasn't too popular and there aren't a ton online.

Any info would be a plus! Happy Labor day

Here mine's (a variation of yours)

When gold must do more than glitter.

why i bought mine many many years ago. because of this story behind one person (long lost the link to his website) who saw this advert on the cover of a magazine on a plane, couldnt find one and went to build one resembling it.

I’ve been on the hunt for the 18k version, full set for a couple of years now but I don’t want to pay a crazy price for one. I’ll keep scouring eBay until it happens

for a full gold bracelet and all, I thought these (in links below) looked very reasonable (in fact downright under-priced and if I haven't have gold watches I would have negotiated and grabbed one of them assuming they are in good working conditions)

This is amazing, thank you all. So glad to be able to read up about this watch
