Description

Up for auction is a striking piece of 1970s horological history: a vintage Wittnauer 2000 Automatic "Perpetual Calendar" men's watch. Featuring a bold deep blue dial, quickset day-date display at 3 o'clock, and an iconic multi-year calendar mechanical inner bezel, this piece perfectly captures the retro-futuristic style of the era. The watch utilizes a Japanese 17-jewel automatic self-winding movement housed in a solid stainless steel cushion case stamped with U.S. Patent No. 3621648 on the screw-down back.

Adding to its distinct character, this watch comes fitted with custom Southwestern-style stone chip inlay watch tips attached to a comfortable stainless steel expansion band. The handcrafted inlay work features vibrant turquoise, red coral/spiny oyster, black onyx, and iridescent mother-of-pearl arranged in a dramatic geometric sweep pattern across silver-toned panels. This combination delivers an authentic vintage Americana aesthetic popular throughout the 1970s American Southwest.
