Offered here is a superb Wakmann Triple Calendar Chronograph powered by the legendary Valjoux 723 manual-wind movement, one of the most desirable and complicated chronograph calibres of the era.

 

Featuring the classic reverse panda dial layout with triple-register chronograph, central chronograph seconds, day and month apertures, and pointer-date indication around the dial perimeter, this is a watch that perfectly captures the golden age of Swiss chronograph design.

 

The stainless steel case measures approximately 37mm excluding crown, offering an ideal vintage size while maintaining excellent wrist presence. The dial displays beautifully with its striking black and silver colour scheme, applied baton hour markers, and vivid red chronograph seconds hand.

 

At its heart is the highly respected Valjoux 723, a column-wheel chronograph movement derived from the celebrated Valjoux 72 family and found in many of the finest chronographs produced during the 1960s and 1970s.

 

What makes this example particularly attractive is that it is accompanied by its original box and guarantee papers, something rarely encountered with these already scarce chronographs.

 

 

Condition

 

The watch presents exceptionally well overall. The original dial remains highly attractive with excellent contrast between the black dial and white registers. The stainless steel case shows honest wear consistent with age while retaining strong overall proportions. The movement is clean and correctly signed. The watch is accompanied by its original box and guarantee paperwork.

Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description and condition report.
