FS: Vintage 1950s Zenith 18K Gold Chronograph cal. 156. TIME CAP

Vintage 1950s Zenith 18K Gold Chronograph cal. 156. TIME CAPSULE WATCH!!
Offered here a fantastic example of a vintage 1950s Zenith Chronograph in 18K rose gold case.
The case measures 38 mm across and has the case number 19518, the lugs are 20 mm.
What any knowledgeable collector notices right away is the MINT condition of the case!!
This watch looks like it spent the last 50 plus years in a safe or a drawer.
Look closely at the bezel finish, the lugs finish and that of the pushers. Incredible!!!
The white dial with black and blue tachometer printing appears to be original.
Rose gold applied numerals 12 and 6 and stick hour markers.
The minute and hour hands are slightly curved along the length.
The blued steel chronograph hands are mint!! The crystal is very nice although it has a couple of small scratches, seen only from a certain angle.
The watch is powered by a Zenith cal. 156 manual movement which is working great.
Now to the bracelet…
The bracelet was most likely made by Guy Freres but it is unsigned. It only has an engraved 750 which attests to 18K gold.
The links are spring loaded so the bracelet will stretch some if needed.
Right now it fits a 7.5 inch wrist comfortably w/o stretching.
This bracelet is very much in demand by vintage Rolex collectors because it would fit very nicely with vintage Rolex Chronographs.
If you want to buy the watch w/o the bracelet let us know.
The watch as shown weighs 83.3 grams. This is a watch for a serious collector. More pics. for serious buyer.
