Founded in 1830, Baume & Mercier is one of Switzerland’s oldest continuously operating watchmakers, renowned for combining elegant design with reliable craftsmanship. The brand gained international recognition throughout the 20th century for producing refined dress watches and high-quality chronographs that balanced luxury with everyday wearability. Vintage Baume & Mercier watches are especially admired for their understated sophistication, clean dial layouts and strong Swiss mechanical movements, making them increasingly popular among collectors seeking timeless mid-century style.

What's on Offer

Presented in an elegant 18k rose gold Spillmann-made case, this vintage Baume & Mercier dress watch perfectly captures the understated sophistication of 1950s Swiss watchmaking. The clean silvered dial is beautifully balanced, featuring applied hour markers, dauphine hands and the increasingly desirable power reserve display that adds both practicality and visual charm. Powered by the respected Felsa 699 automatic movement, this is a refined mid-century timepiece with genuine collector appeal and timeless wrist presence.

The watch remains in very good vintage condition overall, showing light wear to the case consistent with careful age-related use. The warm tone of the rose gold case pairs beautifully with the crisp dial and brown leather strap, giving the watch a classic and versatile look. The case back retains its original engravings, including “Waterproof Non Magnetic Incabloc Automatic,” alongside the reference numbers 3128 and 117483. A superbly elegant vintage Baume & Mercier with strong mid-century character.
