We are proud to offer this fantastic Aero-Compax, that has never been on the market before. It is in wonderful original condition with an untouched dial whose radium has left a nice patina over time. The case is in exceptional condition with only the slightest signs of wear. The 281 column wheel movement has also been exceptionally well preserved and runs excellently. We have tested and regulated it and saw no need for a new service. However, we will overhaul it at cost price on request. It comes with a one year warranty on a beautiful, later "beads of rice" Universal Genève bracelet from Gay Frères.
