An elegant Zenith 28800 from 1972, housed in a substantial 9ct solid gold case with a distinctive tonneau profile that perfectly captures the styling of the early 1970s.
Measuring 33mm excluding the signed Zenith crown, the watch wears larger than its dimensions suggest thanks to its broad case and slim bezel. The brushed and polished case remains clean and crisp, retaining its original definition with only light surface marks from careful wear. The solid gold case has a reassuring weight on the wrist.
The original silver sunburst dial is complemented by applied gold baton hour markers with black inserts and matching gold baton hands. The dial displays a few light spots and marks consistent with its age but remains clean and highly attractive overall.
Powering the watch is its original Zenith manual wind movement. It is running well on the timegrapher, providing confidence that it is performing as it should.
The watch is presented on a black leather strap, completing its understated vintage appearance with its original signed plated buckle.
A refined and increasingly uncommon solid gold Zenith that offers timeless styling, excellent wrist presence and outstanding value compared to many of its Swiss contemporaries.
