Manufactured in the late 1930s, this is a rare 35mm Big Calatrava Art Deco watch with a copper-tone dial, featuring the esteemed International caliber 83. In an era where 30mm sizes were predominant, the 35mm Big Calatrava style housed in a stainless steel case, particularly with the Small Seconds feature, was exceptionally uncommon. The copper-tone dial, reminiscent of pocket watches from the same era, is a remarkable design detail seldom seen with Caliber 83 movements, embellished with a minute track and a mirrored circle on the inner track, presenting a condensed yet captivating design. Its vintage charm is further enhanced by the exquisite patina, showcasing a remarkable vintage appeal.
