RARE VINTAGE BREIL WATCH, MARIENBAD ROLLER SKATING MOTIF, SWISS MADE 1980s
An exceptional mid century collector's timepiece by Breil, showcasing a highly artistic themed design. This extremely rare special edition is currently the only known copy available on the global market. The defining feature is the multi-colored graphic dial illustrating a nostalgic couple roller skating outdoors, signed "Breil Marienbad" at the bottom and marked "Swiss" near the top. The watch features an extra-thin, round, yellow gold-plated case with matching golden baton hands and period-accurate integrated wire loops (wire lugs). The stainless steel caseback is specially decorated with a thematic vintage engraving displaying a classic roller skate under a cursive "Marienbad" inscription. It is fitted with a one-piece black braided textile strap (Perlon style) that passes continuously under the slim case, secured with a classic dark pin buckle.
