The condition looks perfect and it's rare to find such watches in white gold and with the original certificate. The 4217 is one of my favorite references, and the 454 is one of my favorite calibers. Congratulations! You made my day with this post! Bill

Perfect 4217 - great find

Amazing how clean that looks! If you had told me that it was of a recent vintage, I would have believed you.

Looks perfect...

First of all, it looks perfect (condition wise). Secondly, it looks perfectly modern! Amazing how timeless this piece is and how something from 1961 is so relevant today! I mean, it looks like a piece that could be circa 2010! Great vintage piece!

Superb, Matthew.
