HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
We have the original sales papers for this watch, Which show the same serial number as found on the case back, and this watch was sold in May 1999. We have found the same or similar model in the 1999 Wristwatch Annual book, on page 225, with a new price of $1,450. Montblanc first put their name on watches in 1997, and the Reserve de Marche was shown at the 1998 Geneve Salon.
CONDITION
The Montblanc watch range has proved popular, and that wasn’t guaranteed. But they made sure their watches stood out with good, individual design and they had their high end network of dealers for their pens and other luxury branded goods. The Arabic numerals applied to the dial made their watches look like nothing else on the market, and the power reserve on this model is especially practical if you swap and change watches frequently. This model also has the Montblanc name on one side and Meisterstuck on the other side of the case. You have the Montblanc logo on the crown, which is supposed to represent the snow covered peak of the mountain. The movement is a modified Peseux 7001, decorated with Côtes de Genève striping. The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred. We show one photo with a tan strap for an idea of what it might look like.
This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, papers and our Certificate of Authenticity.
