One of the most beautiful examples of this watch I have ever seen, this rare two-tone rose gold/stainless steel Movado triple date calendar is in wonderful condition, has the unique turtle lug case design and was originally retail by La Gerbe D'or, Paris most likely in the mid 1930's. I hope the pictures say it all. A very special timepiece to behold with classic Movado style and a tangible high Art Deco vintage feel.
