*PRICE DROP on this gorgeous one owner lapis dial with a whole lot o’ gold! Something VERY cool for the ladies (or for the lady watch lover/jewelry lover in your life who is awesome and puts up with you and definitely deserves to be showered with gifts!) This is an incredible one owner solid 18k Baume & Mercier with a gorgeous lapis lazuli dial and integrated 18K bracelet! The original owner is a friend, he bought this for his wife in 1980 on vacation, it joined a large collection and was only worn a handful of times, has sat in a safe ever since! The dial is absolutely stunning, as you would expect from lapis lazuli, with blues and greens and gold flecks! The 24.5mm gold case is beautiful with light wear, and integrated bracelet is just plain cool (and HEAVY, this has approximately $2300 worth of gold alone!) It is sized small, approximately 5.5 inches, could be taken down or added to buy a goldsmith. The movement is hand wound, and as far as they know has never been touched, but winding and setting beautifully with timegrapher showing 28 seconds per day and a healthy amplitude of 279. Incredibly this was kept complete all these years with its original double boxes and the original bill of sale, showing this was purchased in May of 1980 for $2500! PRICE: *$2795 which will include 2 day fully insured shipping through FedEx anywhere in the US. Face-to face deals in the Los Angeles area are always welcomed with a small discount offered. No trades, thanks. Payment via Venmo friends and family, Zelle, Wise, or bank wire. No returns unless misrepresented and it absolutely will not be, I’m a passionate collector first and foremost and I go out of the way to treat buyers the way I want to be treated when I’m the buyer. Lots of great feedback to show that! TIMESTAMP: https://imgur.com/a/l1jABcX Thanks for checking out this beautiful lady’s lapis Baume & Mercier set!
