Part of a private collection for approximately 22 years, this watch has seen very limited use, which is reflected in its excellent condition. The gold-plated case shows normal wear consistent with its age, while the fabulous movement is signed and features 17 jewels. The perpetual calendar is elegantly displayed on the outer face rim in blue, further enhancing its sophistication.

At nearly 75 years old, this Pierce Moonphase watch is not only an absolute stunner but also a superb investment for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its timeless appeal and intricate features make it a truly exceptional find in the world of vintage timepieces.
