This is an original vintage Minerva from the 1950s, which has very interesting attributes:

The case: a thin beautiful 33mm case (diameter without crown – not signed), in 18K gold plated 20 Microns layer (not solid gold), note that the case has the original sharp design lines.

The dial: the original dial was repainted at a professional company, “dagger” and designed arabic raised hour markers, second hand circle of the seconds is in a down relief, the serigraphy is: “Symbol - Minerva, q7 Rubis, Incabloc, swiss”.  Please see the images carefully.

The hands: original golden hands

 The movement: The original manual wind mechanical caliber Minerva 48. Famous for using bridges designed with Pythagorean Golden ratio, so the movement is very harmon with supersymmetry, and this baptized the name of the model “Pythagore”.

17 – jewels, signed Minerva, the hallmark of the caliber you will see behind the balance.  

- Sub second dial– 

Conditions: movement in excellent conditions, hard to find a movement in good conditions like this one, please check the images .

It was recently serviced by my friendly master watchmaker (fully dismantled, cleaned, oiled with fine Moebius swiss oils and adjusted) .Works perfectly

 The caseback: original stainless steel snap caseback, in very good conditions for the age, closes with good pressure, externally marked: Fond acier inoxidable #48414 and internally has the Minerva hallmark and reference 102405.

Acrylic glass in very good conditions.

The wristband: 18mm, genuine exotic lizard leather, brown color.
