## Description Offered for sale is an exceptionally elegant Paul Picot Genève Automatic Chronograph Ref. 8002, presented as a complete collector's set including its original presentation box, original outer box, original certificate, original signed strap and original signed buckle. This watch perfectly captures the refined character that made Paul Picot one of the most respected independent Swiss watchmakers of the late twentieth century. The visual centerpiece is undoubtedly the remarkable black sunburst dial. Under direct light, the dial transforms from deep piano black to shades of charcoal and anthracite, creating exceptional depth and constantly changing reflections. The sophisticated tri-compax chronograph layout is framed by warm gold-tone applied markers and matching gold-tone hands, producing a striking contrast that immediately draws the eye. What truly sets this watch apart is the harmonious combination of black, gold and red. The rich black dial provides an elegant backdrop for the gold-plated case and applied indexes, while carefully placed red accents on the tachymeter scale add a subtle sporting character. The result is a design that feels simultaneously luxurious, refined and unmistakably Swiss. The gold-plated case is beautifully proportioned at 38 mm, offering an ideal balance between vintage elegance and modern wearability. Its flowing lugs, polished surfaces and classic chronograph pushers create a sophisticated profile on the wrist while preserving the timeless appearance of traditional Swiss chronographs. Powering the watch is a Swiss automatic chronograph movement, delivering the mechanical character, smooth operation and engineering excellence expected from a true Swiss chronograph. The chronograph functions operate correctly and the watch is fully functional. Presented today as a complete full-set example, this watch retains not only its original certificate and presentation accessories, but also its original signed strap and signed buckle — details that are increasingly difficult to find on surviving examples. For collectors of independent Swiss watchmaking, the Paul Picot Ref. 8002 represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a complete and highly attractive automatic chronograph from a manufacturer known for quality, exclusivity and low production numbers. The combination of the black sunburst dial, gold-plated case, red tachymeter accents and complete original accessories creates a watch with remarkable visual presence and enduring collector appeal.
