Icon20 FS: REDUCED PRICE - Dubey & Schaldenbrand Gold Gran' Chrono Astro

New reduced price at $8,550 - payment via bank wire. Shipped within Continental US - sorry I can't do International shipping.


Selling a Mint pre-owned Dubey & Schaldenbrand Gran' Chrono Astro in 18k Gold, Ref. AGCA/RG/SIB/LS - limited edition - this watch is #1xx in the limited series they made.


It was just fully serviced by D&S, a new crystal was installed and also is on a brand new Genuine D&S alligator strap with genuine D&S 18k gold buckle. One great thing about a strap on a beautiful watch, it can fit a wrist up to 9 inches.

Comes with a 1-year warranty by Wilson Watch Co., many of you know Gary Wilson is an ACWI 21 Certified Watchmaker.

This model has long been sold out and fetches 5-digit prices among collectors. This is the 2002 series Gran' Chrono Astro and is now in mint condition. Just 650 of this model in gold were ever made...you won't find this one anywhere else.

The case back has a window that shows the beautifully engraved movement and skeletonized D&S rotor. Case measures a substantial 37.7 x 50 mm.

The movement is a customized Dubey & Schaldenbrand using a Valjoux 7751 Caliber with 12 hr. chronograph, day, date, month, and moon phase complications; 48 hour power reserve and operates at 28,800 v/h.

Comes with inner and outer box - no certificate nor booklet.

More about Dubey & Schaldenbrand

History & Values
Dubey & Schaldenbrand was founded in 1946 by Georges Dubey and René Schaldenbrand. Dubey was a well-known master watchmaker and a prominent professor at the famous watchmaking school in La Chaux-de-Fonds, the Technicum. René Schaldenbrand was equally experienced and well known in the watch industry. Together they registered several international patents in the 1940’s, which helped shape the Swiss watch-making industry.

Sixty-six years after the foundation, the brand is getting a fresh lease on life with Jonatan Gil at the helm, the owner since 2009. The tradition of Dubey & Schaldenbrand combined with contemporary design and latest technology makes it possible to offer a exclusive timepiece with the highest quality.

Dubey & Schaldenbrand produces only limited quantities and small limited numbered editions with outstanding craftsmanship. Special attention to details and designs, both traditional and modern, without compromising on quality. Exquisite hand engraving is done by local craftsmen and always includes the blazon of the village of Les-Ponts-de-Martel; a watchmaker's hammer and a bridge.

This stunning timepiece has been in the vault since its full service (except to display at the ATL GTG).

It's lonely and wants a new home...
