This is a very special solid 18 karat yellow gold automatic with an unprecedented 65 ruby jeweled movement from Bucherer, a highly respected Swiss maker and dating to the late 1960's. During this era, many high-end Swiss makers were vying for the prestige of making the most highly jeweled mechanical movement. At 65 jewels, this movement has more than twice the number of rubies required to minimize friction and wear in all places needed for maximum performance. The rest of the rubies are not really necessary at all and many are placed solely for the purpose of holding the bragging rights to the most highly jeweled movement and have no practical function, really. Bucherer later lost those bragging rights to several other makers who put up to 100 jewels in their movements but still, this is a very unique and totally remarkable watch. Movement is bright and clean and keeping good time. This extraordinary movement is housed in a large 36.5mm x 44 mm 18 karat solid yellow gold case which is lightly used and still in beautiful extra fine condition with no scratches, dings or damage. Original solid gold crown but the stem has been very slightly hit and you can feel it when the watch is wound or set but it is not a problem and does not interfere with the proper use or operation of this fine watch. The factory original yellow gold dial with gold applied batons and date window at 3:00 is signed with the company logo and "Bucherer, 65 Jewels, Swiss Made." The dial shows a minor ding near 3:00 from a previous service which is only visible under magnification, and some light dust particles. Original solid gold hands set with sweep seconds. Original crystal with one or two very light scratches near the edge which are not really noticeable and could easily be polished out if desired. Overall a very beautiful and remarkable dress watch. Fitted with a new black genuine crocodile 18mm strap.
