This 39mm, stainless steel Raymond Weil Parsifal chronograph is a rare model to find now.  Model reference 7231-ST-00300

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From our research we can see these were sold between 1999 and 2002.  We have picked a mid point as we don’t have the papers for this watch.  We have seen the bi metal version of this watch retailed for $2,995 back in 2001, so would have been competing with chronographs from Breitling, IWC and Zenith.

CONDITION

The automatic Raymond Weil calibre 7200 is basically an ETA 2892-A2, which is no bad thing at all.  This 21 jewel movement was a step up from the Valjoux 7750 fitted to the Saxo range and earlier Parsifal models, as it is slimmer and allows for the magnified date at 12.  It is also nicely decorated with Côtes de Genève striping to the rotor, not that you would see that behind the steel case back.  Later versions had the exhibition case back.  The dial is a just off white colour, as it was from new, and the magnifier for the date sits in the dial rather than a bubble on top of the sapphire crystal, just like in the Audemars Piguet Millenary chronograph.  All functions, including quick set date, are working nicely.  The crown and pushers are all covered in blue flat stones.  The bracelet won the prize in 1996 for the best bracelet design, and it certainly is comfortable.  The bracelet is not full length, so please check your wrist size before ordering.  On the photos the non crown side of the cased looks scratched but it is not – that is a white USB lead reflected on the case.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
