Zenith Chronograph Calibre 156.17 | 1956 | Tropical Dial | Vintage 18ct Gold
A rare and stunning vintage Zenith Chronograph Calibre 156.17 from 1956, offered in exceptional working order. One of the harder-to-find Zenith models from the 1950s, this piece is perfect for collectors seeking originality, quality, and character.
The watch features a tropical dial that has naturally aged over 65+ years into a unique, warm patina — a feature impossible to replicate and highly sought-after among vintage collectors.
