All original, freshly serviced and working perfectly: a vintage Swiss Made Baume & Mercier men's dress watch with reference number 2589, presumably dating back to the late 1960s. It features a slender and refined gold plated case which measures 33mm in diameter and just a little over 7mm in thickness. The dial on this particular example comes in a creamy silver/white finish with black and gold indices. Inside the watch sits a renowned Swiss made manual winding movement: the Peseux 320, which is considered one of the most successful movements of its era. The watch comes on a Hirsch Rainbow black leather strap with generic gold plated buckle and quick release spring bars, ready to wear.
The example sold here has been worn, but is in decent condition considering its age. You will find wear marks on the case and lugs, but no coarse damage. Most notable is some of the gold plating fading on the lug ends. The case has been cleaned thoroughly, but was left unpolished to maintain its original edges and curves. A brand new plexiglass crystal was fitted. The crown is original and signed with the Baume & Mercier logo. The dial has aged fairly well, with a few blemishes: most notable is a faint line from 5 O'clock to 7 O'clock, but said mark is not as apparent to the naked eye.
Functionally, the watch has received a full service prior to sale and is working perfectly. The movement was entirely disassembled, cleaned, lubricated and regulated. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Sold as a watch only: sadly no box or paperwork are present with this piece.
Your newly acquired timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance!
