The vintage Movado market has experienced a significant rise in recent years, enhancing its reputation among collectors. Established in 1881, Movado is recognized as one of the most distinctive and versatile watch brands from Switzerland. Water-resistant chronographs are particularly sought after within the Movado collection.
This specific model, known as the Celestograf or Astrograph in the American market, can be described as “the more complicated watches made by the brand”. It features a display for hours, minutes, seconds, day of the week, date, month, and moon phase.
The inclusion of the day and month in French, accompanied by the inscription “fab suisse” beneath the “Movado” marking, signify its orientation towards the French market. The case is crafted from 18-carats gold and is uniquely shaped for the French market.
The dial remains untouched and features applied Breguet numerals.
It is paired with a generic 18-carat gold bracelet.
