Description
This stunning Zenith G381 is the luxurious gold version of the famous El Primero from the 1970s.

The El Primero is powered by the caliber 3019 - one of the first automatic chronographs in the watchmaking history. A special technical feature of the El Primero is its frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour, which was far higher than the standard of 19,800 at the time.

Between 1969 and 1972, fewer than 700 examples of the G381 were produced. This makes it even rarer than the coveted reference A386.

The silver-colored dial with its black sub-dials and date display between 4 and 5 o'clock has an immediately recognizable design. The special feature of this example is the tropical ring, which has developed its unique patina over time.

Condition report
Dial: great condition - original tritium luminous material - signed “T Swiss Made T”.

Case: 18k yellow gold - rarely worn - slight signs of wear - intact gold hallmarks on the lugs - deep serial number on the back - correct engravings inside the back - winding crown signed with Zenith-NATO star.

Movement: Automatic caliber Zenith 3019 PHC with quickset date function works perfectly.

Summing-Up
As part of the iconic El Primero line, this Zenith G381 has great historical significance. The gold case adds to its luxurious appeal. The G381 is a rare model, which makes it highly sought after by collectors and contributes to its stable value on the vintage watch market. This example is particularly collectible due to the fantastic condition of the case and dial.
