Bertolucci Pulchra Divers Watch, Swiss ETA Chronometer Large 40mm RARE
Item History & Price
The watch dimensions are 40mm dia, 11.5mm thick (not including cyclops lens), and 46mm lug to lug. This would easily fit a wrist smaller than my 7.25" one. The watch is running well, and has had light rotation with other watches in my collection. This is an all original, stock watch that as never been polished, or refinished. You rarely see one of these in this excellent condition. I would consider this watch and bracelet as being "near mint condition", with no dings, scratches, or other defects... the bracelet has never been removed, the lugs are minty as well. Sorry, no original box or papers... I lost them when I moved many years ago.
In a world of watches that all seem to look the same, or are really huge, this is a nice find at a practical 40mm. It is very slim and easily fits under a dress cuff. This Swiss watch (made in Neuchatel, Switzerland) does draw attention due to the unique Italian design and high level of finishing. The supple bracelet wears nice... super comfortable. This is a high end stainless steel sports watch.
When this watch was bought new, it was close to the same price as a "Submariner", but wears like a much nicer watch due to the slinky bracelet. Why pay 10k (plus) to own the other, more common Swiss brand, when this is rarer, more stylish, and a lot more comfortable on the wrist. I have owned Subs, and this is far more comfortable & cooler in the summer. It is a real sleeper, most do not know of this excellent brand, it is not "mass produced" like some Swiss watches... when this watch was made the company only had around 35 employees at the time this watch was made, all their watches were hand made in relatively small numbers.
I am not a watch dealer, nor a "flipper". I buy watches to wear them, and treat them gently, as an owner would. I may consider a reasonable offer, from the right buyer.
