On offer is an eterna matic KonTiki

An always unrecognized super watch from the 1950s. The watch came onto the market around the same time as the tool watches from Rolex and Omega (comparable to the Submariner and Seamaster 300). All three were tested to 20 atmospheres of pressure. However, the KonTiki already had a quickset date function and crown protection, which came much later for the other two. The 3 watches were also comparable in price. This KonTiki cost 335 dm at the time, slightly more expensive than its two competitors.

On offer is a particularly well-preserved Eterna KonTiki from 1959 with an
exquisite silver sunburst dial. The design of the dial is also particularly beautiful and includes applied baton hour markers with luminous dots, a discreetly framed date aperture at 3 o'clock and elegant Dauphine hands with luminous inlays.
The dial is encapsulated under acrylic glass and set in stainless steel, which is in excellent condition and has clearly been meticulously cared for. This is a fantastic watch for any occasion. Both for everyday wear and perfect for more formal occasions. Rounding out the offer is a very well preserved steel bracelet from Gay Freres sa (Eterna buckle 4/59, end links g/k). This bracelet alone is priced between 600-800€.

On the case back you will find the KonTiki raft engraving, which was only engraved on the first KonTikis. This watch is quite large for the time at approx. 37 mm (oversize), but is still light and comfortable on the wrist and a fantastic addition to any collection, a watch with real character!
