A very fine, extraordinary, octagonal vintage Geneva wristwatch with onyx dial Movm. No. 1360082, Ref. 3631, Cal. 177, Case No. 2757567, Dimensions 34 x 34 mm, circa 1977, Origin Schweiz, gold original clasp Case: 18 K gold, push back, stepped bezel, crown set with onyx cabochon. Dial: Onyx. Movm.: Manual. Only the most skilled artist can handle the challenge to create such a wafer-thin dial from a precious stone. These are very fragile and often suffers fractures or fissures over time. This is why an immaculate dial increases the value of such a timepiece considerably. Apart from two lines of text at 12 o’clock and the small letters 'SWISS' at the bottom edge of the dial the dial is completely blank. The yellow gold dauphine hands match the case of the watch. The watch features a lustrous deep black onyx dial fitted in an 18 K yellow gold case with stepped bezel and concealed lugs. The winding crown is adorned with a small onyx cabochon. The watch is powered by manual-wind calibre 177 with Geneva seal. Case: very good. Dial: very good. Movm.: very good, capable of running, cleaning recommended.
