FS: Maurice Lacroix PLATINUM 40mm Chronograph manual wind (Vintage Venus 188) - $5900

FS: Maurice Lacroix PLATINUM 40mm Chronograph manual wind (Vintage Venus 188) LE of only 125 - $5900

Here is my challenge to you, my fellow collector!
--> Find a Platinum Manual Wind chronograph this nice for under $10,000
--> Even though this watch at a FRACTION of that price, I still challenge you to find one with a budget of $10,000. I am certain you will not.

Manual wind chronographs are the best eye candy we have in collecting. Nice ones are the creme de la creme.
In platinum, they are usually at astronomically high prices.

Here is one with a dial that is at Breguet level if not better, a vintage movement taken and finished to a high standard, 40mm case with stepped lugs, all crafted in Platinum.

To summarize the Incredible craftsmanship on this piece:
- Movement: vintage Venus 188 manual wind movement, then hand finished to an excellent level
- The case: great heft - 40mm solid Platinum case with amazing stepped lugs
- The dial: superb guilloche, see pictures, gorgeous
- The hands: blued spot on, beautiful

100% complete box and papers. Comes with:
- Original ML strap and ML Platinum tang buckle, and extra pebbled blue B&R Bands strap
- Inner Box + Outer box + All papers including the 125 piece limited edition paperwork

I listed and sold this exact watch before and the collector traded it back to me for another watch of mine. So here it is again for sale!

Priced at a great deal - Wire only and price includes free shipping worldwide FedEx insured from here in San Francisco, CA. Lots of references. Thanks for looking!

This is a dial better than Breguet, a killer vintage movement finished well, platinum - my offer still stands, 50 bucks to someone who can find a better manual wind platinum chrono for under $10,000 --- and this has a 5 handle on the price!
