1940s Angelus Masterpiece "Chronodato" 38mm Triple Calendar Chronograph
This is a rare 18k yellow gold model. The substantial 38mm oversized case and the uniquely symmetrical dial design, made possible by the in-house movement Cal.217, make this a consistently popular piece. While Chronodato models often feature embossed dials with stainless steel or gold-filled cases, this rare example boasts an all-gold case with intricately crafted applied indices, showcasing the refined craftsmanship.
The Cal.217 movement allows adjustments via buttons: the button at 12 o’clock adjusts the month, the button at 6 o’clock adjusts the day of the week, and the button at 9 o’clock adjusts both the day of the week and pointer date. Its user-friendly design, including a quick-set function for the day of the week while the mechanism remains running, further enhances its appeal.
