Hello all. I am listing this again because the final buyer of the last post told me he couldn't get the money. SO i just ask this. If you are buying a watch, please make sure you have the money to pay for it. We can't take a payment plan.

Anyways - for sale here is an unpolished and mint as found from original owner Autavia 2446c Chrono Serial #131xxx made for the Argentina Airforce. Please look at this photos. This is not only a rare watch but it is absolutely beautiful and found in original conditions. Per Craig B in Oregon, the watch was never touched. As you can see the original Gay Freres band is fully in tact and mint as well with the correct date stamp and HLB end links. Case back contains all the engravings which is amazing as we often see them polished off over the years. The dial / serial combo was discussed with OTD and determined to be completely fine. Watch is running well and keeping time and all chrono functions work fine. I am listening to offers in the 18-20k area code. It may seem like a lot but as everyone here knows the prices of these watches are only still climbing. I had a discussion about autavia with a very astute collector who told me that he thought there was going to yet another surge in prices and although many have said auction prices are crazy, apparently this estimate is correct. Just look at what happened to the vintage rolex world and frankly these watches although not as pricey now are even more difficult to find. Any way you slice it this is hard to come by and i wouldn't be selling it unless i needed the money for another purchase - serious inquiries only. many references worldwide and my IG is @vintagerlx enjoy the photos.

thank you for the space!
