Up for sale is a true "unicorn" of Japanese vintage watchmaking. While the stainless steel Leopard 36k is a classic, finding a Gold Plated (GP) variant in this condition is a 1-in-10 occurrence. Most gold vintage Citizens from the 70s suffer from heavy plating wear; this specimen is a stunning exception with zero brassing and a mirror-like finish. Technical Masterpiece: Inside beats the high-frequency Caliber 7230 (28 Jewels). It has been meticulously regulated to a breathtaking +1 second per day with 0.2ms Beat Error (Timegrapher photo included). At 36,000 BPH, the second hand glides with a smoothness that rivals modern Grand Seiko Hi-Beat movements. Key Features: Case: Near Mint Gold Plated cushion case (Ref. 4-720938 TA). Dial: Flawless Gold Sunburst dial with applied indices. Crystal: Brand new, scratch-free (replaced during service). Strap: Genuine Swiss Made Handmade Crocodile leather strap (high-end luxury feel). Function: Day/Date with German (MIT) day wheel. Quickset working perfectly. Provenance: Produced February 1974. This is not just a watch; it’s a serviced, investment-grade piece of horological history. Ready to wear or display.
