Description

1950s silver Buren Grand Prix wrist watch.

The watch has a signed 15-jewel hand-winding movement which is working nicely.

The watch measures 28.5mm wide excluding the winding crown and 28.5mm high excluding the lugs... it would suit a slimmer wrist. The case is silver and is hallmarked for Birmingham 1952. The case is in good overall condition with just one mark above the dial. There is a 1953 inscription to the reverse.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial is in good condition, just a little discolouration but nothing serious. The paint detail to the numbers and hands has been removed over the years.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
