Condition
The story behind – together with the outstanding vintage looks of this Gübelin wristwatch, makes this watch true connoisseurs’ example. The watch was acquired at a local auction house by us. At the viewing days, we noticed there were more watches with these F.P.H. letters engraved on the case back. After doing more research on the internet, we discovered that this watch belonged to a Dutch literal-agent, which later moved to San Francisco. In the USA, he met his wife (we found a watch with her initials on it, at the same viewing of the auction house).

The watch is preserved in honest vintage condition. The lugs of the watch are slightly bend, as the soft 18k yellow gold allowed over time. The watch runs accurate and wears amazing on the wrist.
