Manufactured in the 1950s, this is a rare Tag Heuer watch with a Valjoux 88 movement, 37mm stainless steel case, waterproof feature, triple calendar, moon phase, and chronograph. It features the rare Cal.88, an enhancement of the renowned Cal.72C by Valjoux, known for its association with the Rolex "Killy Watch." The addition of the moon phase function makes it even more exceptional. The mechanical design and intricate mechanism of the triple calendar, three registers, and moon phase are considered the pinnacle of vintage chronographs, boasting overwhelming recognition and popularity. The dial is on a silver-tone base with raised indices, a unique and intricate design with a "〇" on the minute track. Despite being an oversized case, the balance is highlighted by the presence of a silver circle. It seems that the case may have been replaced during the repair process, but as a Tag Heuer Valjoux 88 model, it remains a highly valuable and reasonably priced item.
