What We love — An early example of the ref. 765 with pink gold hands and indices. The raised enamel signature is still beautifully sharp, the guilloché is preserved wonderfully and the multi-stepped reeded bezel still crisp. This is very much a beautiful object as it is a watch. The case is signed Geneva Key No. 5, the poinçon de maître for Georges Croisier, the long-established Geneva casemaker whose work appears for houses like Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin. Under 10 examples of this config have shown up in auction to date.
What you should know — The watch runs well, even if the movement isn’t exactly spotless these days but honestly, the real joy here is the exterior. The textures and the way light dances across the engine-turning, that’s what makes this ref. 765 so much fun! The dial shows very light wear for its age.
