Founded in 1737, Favre-Leuba is the oldest watchmaking company in Switzerland. The company remained a family business until it was sold off circa 1985 due to the introduction of quartz watches and had changed owners several times until it was acquired in 2011 by the Titan Company which is a joint venture partnership between the Tata Group and TIDCO.

Favre-Leuba had set and expended the boundaries of watchmaking since 1737 and are now at the threshold of continuing this legacy with Titan Company's financial muscle.

Here we have a Favre Leuba Checkered Dial in near mint condition.

This beautifully shaped gold case underwent a good clean-up while maintaining its super sexy curves. Most imperfections were removed without compromising the case shape. The original crystal was polished and is in excellent condition.

The unsigned crown is original and is located at the 3H position and is nicely tucked away yet easily accessible.

The movement is in excellent condition, and the battery was replaced on 21 July 2026. So, it should be able to operate unhindered until the next battery replacement thereby providing the owner peace of mind. The crown is uncorked to preserve the battery life.

The case width and height are approximately 29.3m (w/o crown) and 35.0mm respectively. The lug width is 16mm and the strap can accommodate wrists up to 17cm; hence, this watch is suitable for the modern women.

The watch comes with a Vintage Bambi Brand "Atomic" Model Expendable Gold Bracelet as part of the deal.

To the best of our knowledge and expertise when overhauling the timepiece, the watch is 100% original Favre Leuba components from this particular watch. No parts were replaced with aftermarket parts or modified thereby it is considered in excellent condition.

Even though the seals and gaskets are in place, this timepiece has not been water-resistant tested due to its age.

The pictures provided shows the watch in excellent condition and well maintained. It has also been demagnetised to improve parts reliability, minimise wear + tear, and improve accuracy. The only drawback is the lack of documentation and original box. A nice purposeful carrying case or box will be provided instead.

Bear in mind that this watch has seen many of the previous owners’ ups and downs in life and should be cherished and well taken care of for the next generation to savour such engineering beauty.

Yes, there are many other same models in the market, but almost all are not in the same quality condition and is well maintained as what you see here. Hence, it is a no-brainer that this one-of-a-kind watch will make an extremely beautiful birthday present for that special someone! Another no-brainer is the fact that the value of this watch will appreciate over time.

This is a highly sort-after Collectible Favre Leuba Quartz 0919-57P in excellent condition; so, be unique and own a Vintage Favre Leuba that is almost impossible to source in such fine condition or purchase it for that special someone.
