FS: Autavia 11630 MH

Up for sale is my almost completely original and recently serviced Cal12 11630 MH from the mid- to late-1970s. I spent ages looking for one of these and eventually found one in completely original and untouched condition. It went straight off to Duncan at Genesis Watchmaking (a very well respected watch repairer in the UK), who serviced the watch and replaced the mineral crystal in September 2012 at a cost of £320.

I bought the watch from a chap in Wales who'd looked after it incredibly well, using it mainly for Sunday best or special occasions. As such it's in remarkably good condition with fantastic patina on the insert, which goes ghost-like at certain angles, and a really crisp case with the original brushing.

The only downsides are a chip in the main chrono hand and one of the pusher covers has been squashed, although it's on the back of the watch so not visible in normal use. It is however a freshly serviced watch in lovely condition and with beautiful patina.

The watch comes on an almost new rally strap. Price is £1,850 plus RMSD in the UK. I can post abroad but it will go with insurance to the full value.
