BREITLING
REF. 1198
early 50ies

The watch is all original.

Dial: the dial is original. It has a nice creamy patina, but please refer to photos since patina is in the eye of the beholder... The radium still glows nicely if exposed to strong light or UV light.

hands: all original dauphine hands with intact radium - glows

Case: it is galvanized. In very nice conditions from the front and all sides but the bottom has some corrosion showing. I have repaired similar issues in the past but have no more time to do case restorations these days. Please refer to the photos.

Caseback: Stainless steel with clear engravings with brand, serial, reference. Very nice conditions.

Bracelet: Aftermarket leather strap.

Additional: The watch currently runs. I do not know the service history. I give no guarantee on accuracy.

No other accessories are included.

Asking 1300 EUR by wire or PayPal to Family and Friends. Shipped and insured within EUROPEAN UNION. International shipping is available at an additional cost. The watch can be picked up in person or I can have the watch delivered to the watch fair in Munich if a deposit of 10% is sent.
I'm a watch collector and not a dealer. You can contact me also on Instagram under VINTAGE_KRONOS or by email at kronosstraps@gmail.com or on What's App at 0038640453349

Returns are only accepted within 3 days of receipt of the item if it is not as described and is returned in the same exact condition as it was originally sold. PHOTOS ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. Refunds will be considered upon a full inspection and will amount to the purchase price minus shipping and handling costs. The buyer is responsible for the return postage, insurance, and safe delivery of the watch back to me. Due to the complexity of shipping to the EU from abroad, all international sales are final.

Thanks to Jeff and the team for the space,
