Full calender watches, especially with gold cases are a great rarity that are still totally undervalued. They were manufactured shortly after the 2nd World War when money and earnings were scarce. That is why there are only very few pieces from each brand. Valjoux 72C chronographs were the flagship of almost every major watchmaker in the 1940s. Today they are highly sought-after collector’s pieces.
