With a striking resemblance to the Patek Philippe Calatrava, this is an extraordinarily elegant dress watch from the fifties, complete with J. W. Benson retailer mark, accompanying box and original Universal Geneve swing tag - this undoubtedly a time warp example from the golden age of dress watches

The dial is in superlative condition, whilst the case remains sharp and unpolished

The silver markers and alpha hands are outstanding

Whilst the service history is unknown, the watch has been inspected and is currently in full working order
