Exquisite Minerva Timepiece
We are thrilled to offer this exquisite Minerva watch, featuring stunning tear drop lugs that create a look of pure delight. Renowned as one of the finest watch brands ever made, this classical timepiece is simply outstanding and represents a fabulous investment that can be worn with pride.
The dial showcases an exquisite appearance of age, with gentle fading that adds to its character. The case is 20-micron gold plated, including the back, though it does have a small dink, which is expected given its approximately 69 years of history.
Accompanied by a quality generic strap in good condition, this watch has had its original strap replaced a few years ago. Each strap is beeswaxed to enhance both its appearance and durability. This Minerva looks magnificent on the wrist, serving as a significant statement piece and a testament to fine watchmaking.
As a timepiece from a leading brand, it is becoming increasingly rare. Its lovely vintage condition is largely due to limited use during its custodianship, having spent most of its life boxed in a watch cabinet. This is truly one of the finest watches available and a remarkable addition to any collection. For inquiries or to arrange a viewing, please contact us.
