A very rare and like new condition Gigandet Chronograph with exotic panda dial and Paul Newman subdials...
There is no coincidence that this dial looks familiar, with those art deco subdials. The dial producer Singer made some of the most famous and coveted Chronograph dials from the 60s. The main one being the Rolex Daytona.
The splash of red on the telemetre scale looks like a racing speedometer, and the simple balance of the dial layout very appealing.
This watch is close to new old stock, and still has remnants of the original caseback sticker.
The watch houses a workhorse 7733 movement that can go on and on.
A really amazing time capsule, we won't find another!
