Condition: Fantastic original condition overall with minor honest wear consistent with age and careful use; sharp solid 18K gold case is unpolished with crisp edges; caseback remains clearly legible with "Centenaire" logo in the center and serial number on the outer edge; very attractive original silver linen dial with date display; excellent original non-luminous hands; new low-profile domed acrylic crystal

Other: This rare Eterna-Matic Centenaire is channeling some serious Mad Men vibes (think of Roger Sterling early on in the series). The beautiful original Swiss-only dial with linen finish glistens out in the sun and comes fitted in an unpolished solid 18K yellow gold case with ultra-slim profile that is sure to slide under any cuff. We equally recommend dressing it down with some jeans though. The original winding crown is signed and the low-domed acrylic crystal matches the sleek case perfectly. With a solid 18K gold case and in-house movement with quick-set date, this is a luxury watch that was ahead of its time and perfect for the astute collector. Oh, and it also comes with its original box and hang-tag booklet - $210.00 was a lot of money for a watch back in 1962!
