Offered here is a rare and historically significant Favre-Leuba Ref. 81013, a fine example from one of the world’s oldest watchmakers. Hailing from Le Locle, Switzerland’s third smallest city and a cradle of horological heritage, Favre-Leuba—established in 1737—has long stood at the forefront of innovation and craftsmanship. This particular reference, dating back to circa 1962, features the FL251 calibre—an extra-thin (2.95mm), twin-barrel movement with a central seconds hand and a 50-hour power reserve. The calibre is signed by Favre-Leuba and bears the serial number 1,032,270. Encased in a blasted matte case of 34.5mm diameter (with an 18mm lug width), this piece offers balanced proportions and wrist presence. The original champagne sunburst dial, signed Favre-Leuba & Co., shows minor blemishes near the center—consistent with age—but retains strong vintage character and legibility. The watch is in good running condition, keeping time within approximately +/- two minutes per 24 hours, a testament to the enduring quality of its movement. A later vintage leather strap has been fitted, complementing the piece’s understated elegance. A compelling addition for collectors seeking mid-century Swiss horology, this Favre-Leuba not only offers mechanical value and provenance but also serves as a reminder of the brand’s ambition and legacy.
