Corum Buckingham 5879 Bordeaux Dial
unique piece - painted roman numerals - fascinating design
SoldThe watch captivates with a presence that cannot be overlooked. The large curved 18k rectangular case with a bordeaux dial literally demands attention yet remains subtle in its elegance.
The deep bordeaux dial shows fine spider cracks that stretch across the dial and tell stories of decades: A lively patina that gives this watch an unmistakable personality.
The gold-framed Roman numerals are painted: A very rare design.
The crown, refined with a bordeaux cabochon, is the final nuance that rounds off the unusual character of this watch and is appreciated by connoisseurs as a sign of exquisite craftsmanship.
This watch is not just an accessory, it is a companion for moments that carry meaning. The design speaks of times that are worth capturing, of stories that deserve to be told. It gives the wearer the feeling of having something truly unique on their wrist, something that will retain its value and style for generations. It is a reminder of that era of the 70s that had the courage to experiment but never lost its sense of elegance.
