1970's Bueche Girod Maxi Oval Baignoire
A rare and exceptional Maxi Oval by Bueche Girod, an absolute grail, with its 18K yellow gold ribbed 55mm x 28mm long curved case, exploded Roman numeral dial and manual wind caliber.
The Maxi Oval is one of the most bold and controversial statements of wristwatch design. What with its extremely hyperbolic case length and its contoured Roman numeral dial, these traits combined with its ribbed bezel amplifies an already conspicuous watch through the roof.
Bueche Girod is a brand steeped in mystery, emerging as a house of great opulence and excess in the post war era. The brand were known to share case manufacturing, designs and movements with Cartier. In fact, this reference’s cousin, the Maxi Oval with a smooth bezel, is a one to one with the Cartier variant; the difference being, several multiples in price.
This watch is running well and in great condition throughout. Paired on a shell cordovan leather strap with 18K British Market deployant.
