Model: Chronometre Reference: 9770 Case Material: Yellow Gold Bracelet Material: Leather Strap Year: 1920's Movement: Manual Case N°: 961991 Dimensions: 23 x 36 mm Signed: Dial, Movement and Case The present Movado wristwatch from the 1920s boasts an impressively large case size for its time. The dial, signed "Movado Chronometre," displays a patina that has gracefully developed over the past century, a testament to its enduring quality. Remarkably, despite being nearly 100 years old, the watch, crafted from 18k gold, remains in very nice condition. The steel hands perfectly complement the champagne dial embellished with black, lacquered Breguet-style numerals, enhancing the dial's vintage charm. The design of the case and dial bears a striking resemblance to Patek Philippe watches from the same era, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of 1920s watchmaking. Additionally, the movement is finely finished with Geneva stripes, indicative of Movado's attention to detail and commitment to excellence. Few 18k solid yellow gold watches were produced in the 1920s, making this timepiece a rare and valuable find for collectors.
