In perfect, unworn condition, this Paul Picot ladies watch is a chance to buy a new old stock – yet still vintage – watch. Model reference 5200.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

We have not managed to find a perfect way to accurately date this watch, but the movement fitted in this watch was also being used in other watches in the mid to late 1980’s.  We so nothing to make us think this wasn’t made at around the same time.

CONDITION

The brand Paul Picot were founded in 1976, which was a very turbulent time for the Swiss watch industry.  60% of the workforce for making Swiss watches were laid off during what is now known as the quartz crisis, so for any new brand to succeed during that time was remarkable.  And survive, then thrive they did.  A quick search of Chrono24 shows over a dozen Paul Picot watches priced in excess of £10,000 (one is £65,000!).  Those modern watches use solid gold and intricate movements, so are not really comparable to this watch.  We have a simple three handed watch, with an ETA quartz movement and quick set date stamped with the PP initials of the company.  The case on our watch is gold plated, but condition is unrepeatable.  The signed strap has only been worn for photography, and the oval buckle isn’t signed but is highly likely to be original too.  We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box, the original protective plastic sleeve and our Certificate of Authenticity.
