With a 57 jewel automatic movement and the award winning Parsifal bracelet, this Raymond Weil has a lot of bang per buck.  Model reference 7241.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

It is very difficult to date Raymond Weil watches accurately, but we have found two similar watches available that have sold with papers – one was sold in 2003, and the other in 2004.  While we would prefer a larger sample group, we have no reason to doubt this watch is of a similar period.

CONDITION

Raymond Weil were founded in 1976, right in the heart of the biggest crisis facing the Swiss watch industry.  Hundreds of watch companies failed, but Raymond Weil found a way to succeed and will be celebrating their 50th anniversary soon.  Part of their attraction was being able to offer more for less.  For example the movement in this Parsifal chronograph is their RW7300, which is actually based on an ETA 2982A2 movement with a Dubois-Dépraz chronograph module.  That is pretty much the same movement that Breitling and others used, with their watches at a much higher price point.   You also get quick set date, sapphire crystal and an exhibition case back.  Everything is working correctly, but we would point out the crown has been changed for a different design – the original would have been slimmer and with a cabochon polished stone set into it, just like the chrono pushers have.  This is the reason this watch is cheaper than the others currently on sale.  The bracelet is quite long and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required.  The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath and both bracelet and case are unpolished.

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

This watch has been checked against the Watch Register and has not been reported as lost, stolen or implicated in fraud, and a copy of that certificate will also be included.
