Both the dial and the generally architectural design of this clock are reminiscent of classicism. That is why it became famous under the names "Style","Empire" or"Directoire". The partial greenish varnish is said to be reminiscent of oxidising bronze.
The Atmos Vendome was produced in different variations. With a gilded base or also with a marble base. The first Vendome appeared in 1962 and the model offered here from the 5857 series was built from 1962-1978.
Condition:
Flawless functionality. Absolute accuracy.
The photos are not "embellished", the case condition is as shown in the photos. In most of the photos, the watch is shown without the front glass, due to the reflection of the flash when taking photos.
I give a one year warranty on the functionality of the movement when properly set up and handled.
Price: This clock is no longer available. I still have several identical models in stock and offer them between 3000,- € and 4000,- € depending on the condition.
