Suisse” Automatic in Rose Gold, circa 1953 – N.O.S.","description":"In post-war France, the gold trade was tightly controlled by the State: as the import of finished goods in precious metal was prohibited, the Swiss houses imported movements and dials and entrusted the making of cases to French workshops – while the law of 11 January 1892 required the mention “Fab. Suisse” on the dial. These watches, known as “à boîtier français” or “French Case”, form a chapter of their own in vintage watchmaking. Ours bears the maker’s mark nicknamed “PGF”, which many collectors struggle to identify: that of the Paul Frank (et Fils) workshops, in Saint-Leu-la-Forêt, as well as the eagle’s head, the French guarantee hallmark for 18-carat gold (750 ‰).\nOur example, produced circa 1953 (movement numbered 137xxxxx), features a rose gold case of approximately 33.5 mm and a two-tone dial – a satin cream centre and a slightly more silvery outer ring – with applied faceted Arabic numeral hour markers in rose gold, matching hands and a blued steel central seconds hand, all with their original radium luminescent material. Beneath the caseback beats the caliber 354 “bumper” – the very one that powered the Seamasters of the early 1950s. Never polished and kept in near-new condition, the watch has undergone a complete service by one of our experienced watchmakers.\nIt is presented on a new high-end, made-to-measure Amplitude° x Alexandre Tritz strap, hand-stitched from vintage pigskin leather, fastened with a vintage satin-finished rose-gold-plated pin buckle, and accompanied by our Steel Warranty Card.\nA witness to a still little-known chapter of Franco-Swiss watchmaking history, this rose gold Omega combines the charm of the bumper, the rarity of the French case and a state of preservation that is quite simply exceptional. Collectors will need no convincing: this is a rare opportunity.","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54863775826243,"sku":"AYSF","price":5800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/1378\/9763\/files\/AYSF-Superbe-Omega-Fab-Suisse-automatique-en-or-rose-circa-1953-NOS-Front-1.jpg?v=1791199486","url":"https:\/\/amplitudewatches.co\/en\/products\/superb-omega-fab-suisse-automatic-in-rose-gold-circa-1953-n-o-s-aysf","provider":"Amplitude","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
