Rare, refined, and remarkably wearable, this elegant timepiece is primed to grace the wrists of discerning collectors for generations to come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe design is so simple and elegant in this watch it leaves one nothing to not like. The very clean dial, fine pencil hands and clean 18 carat gold applied baton markers. The dial in this example is very interesting. It is a very rare bronze colour that has turned tropical over the years. It also had the retail signature of Beyer stamped onto the dial in this very stark white printing. The \"SWISS\" stamp is present at the foot of the dial. This watch was made in the early 1970's, so now over fifty years old. Research has not turned up another with this dial colour, or Beyer stamped.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Beyer watch company based in Zurich has a rich and illustrious over two hundred and sixty year history that is still prevalent today.
