Eterna Airforce Galaxis Moonphase 850.4386.68; Vintage 18k Gold Watch

Description

Some watches are rare. Others are virtually impossible to find! This Eterna Airforce Galaxis undoubtedly belongs to the latter category. An exceptionally exclusive model from around 1989, crafted in solid 18-carat yellow gold and originally intended solely for a very select audience. In the late 1980s, this model was at the absolute top of Eterna's collection, with an impressive retail price of 28,500 Swiss Francs.

Miami Vice, Tony Montana... That’s the vibe we get from this Eterna Airforce Galaxis 18k Gold Mecaquartz Moonphase Chronograph with reference number 850.4386.68.

With a total weight of no less than 118 grams, this watch exudes pure luxury. The case and integrated bracelet are made of solid 18-carat yellow gold, while the (natural and hand-cut) sapphire accents further enhance its exclusive character. The whole is also in very good condition. A minor point of attention, one of the sapphires in the bracelet has a small chip on a corner. Barely visible, but worth mentioning.

Internally, the remarkable Frédéric Piguet Calibre 1171 Mecaquartz movement is present. This high-quality Swiss movement combines the precision of quartz with a mechanical chronograph mechanism and is considered by connoisseurs to be one of the finest Mecaquartz movements ever produced. Additionally, it features a date display and an elegant moon phase complication. The finishing and technology make the movement a true work of art that runs excellently and accurately.

The bracelet, made from solid 18k yellow gold and sapphire, completes the look and is also in very good condition. The bracelet comes with 2 extra links and fits wrists up to (large) approximately 20cm.

The combination of 18k gold, sapphire, the exclusive Frédéric Piguet movement, and its very limited availability makes this watch particularly interesting for serious collectors of rare Swiss watches.
