1950s Breitling Dress Watch Ref. 238-25 In 18k Rose Gold

Why This Watch Matters Here's something you don't see from Breitling everyday: A rose gold dress watch complete with its original box. The Full Story Sport chronographs like the Breitling Chronomat, Navitimer, and Top Time are some of Breitling's best known and historic watches, However, the Swiss firm also produced elegant watches, such as this time-only automatic dress watch in solid 18k rose gold. The details on this watch are extremely striking, and it's complete with an original Breitling box for a nice little cherry on top. The more we dig into this watch, the better and better it gets. The dial has a really special wavy texture to it that presents as a waffle-esque finish from a distance but, upon closer inspection, is actually more of a chevron, horizontal wave pattern. A patina has developed on the dial surface, giving off a cream tone. On that textured dial are applied hour markers in a dagger shape at each hour outside of the Breguet "12." These really stand out at a glance
