This vintage Titus chronograph from the 1950s is a bold statement piece. The 37?mm 18k yellow gold case highlights timeless elegance and craftsmanship—so much so that many of these were melted down for their gold value. But this one survived.
The standout feature: a striking black gilt dial—rare for its era. It’s beautifully preserved, with bronze-coloured hands and markers that contrast perfectly against the gilt finish.
