Movado-Zenith El Primero Gold
Cal. El Primero 3019 PHC - 14k gold - ultra rare
Created during the short and highly fascinating period of collaboration between Zenith and Movado, this model represents a unique chapter in horological history. The 39 mm case, crafted from 14k yellow gold, impresses with its balanced proportions and an appearance that is both elegant and confidently present on the wrist.
Particularly noteworthy is the unusual dial: the silvered surface with vertical striping creates a captivating play of light. Applied Roman numerals, fine minute divisions with 1/5th second graduations, and the date display come together in perfect harmony.
At its heart beats the legendary Zenith El Primero caliber 3019 PHC — one of the most important automatic chronograph movements ever made, renowned for its high frequency and technical sophistication.
A true highlight is the condition: the watch appears virtually unworn, featuring a flawless dial and an exceptionally well-preserved case.
A highly rare and desirable collector’s piece that perfectly combines technical excellence, distinctive design, and outstanding preservation.
