MINERVA TRIPLEDATE VALJOUX 723 a.k.a 72c TRIPLEDATE CALENDAR
CHRONOGRAPH + ORIGINAL MINERVA BOX
A very rare and highly sought after
vintage Valjoux 723(a.k.a 72C) MINERVA Tripledate/calendar
chronograph Circa 1964.
It has the look closely approximate the Vintage Rolex Model Ref:
6236, which is the vintage version of triplecalendar chronograph
from Rolex which also used the SAME Valjoux movement. But of course
the price of the ROLEX verison is astronomical now !!!!! Thus the
potential value appreciation of this MINERVA version cannot and
should not be under-estimated.
As you are aware MINERVA vintage chronographs are very hard to come
by and one with this complication and high grade Valjoux 72c
movement is highly sought after !!!!
AND THIS ONE COMES WITH THE ORIGINAL BOX !!!!!!!!!!!!!
