Dear Community!
I know, I know, I am stupid and will regret this sale for sure!
Now I am consider to sell my beloved Minerva Avus II Chronograph with the Valjoux GHT N.22 vintage movement. The GHT N.22 movement is a huge, historical, vintage movement from the 40-ies, made by hand, has no schock protection at all!
Rumours says that Minerva bought 26 movements in 1942 and found it later in their drawer in 1997 and made this very unique edition of 26 pieces worldwide.
All movements are assembled by the hand of master watchmaker Yvan Bourquin from Minerva.
The watch is a unique edition from 1997, exists only 26 pieces worldwide. The case is from solid sterling silver with beautiful patina. It is in a very good, mint condition!
The movement was recently serviced, works strong, all the functions are perfect!
I have no box and no papers for the watch but with a certificate of the origin, signed by Jean-Jacques Frey and Yvan Bourquin from Minerva!
