Specialist note

The MultiChron Astronomic “waterproof” triple calendar chronograph model is the rarest Gallet wristwatch. It was manufactured from 1955 until 1974 in stainless steel, 14K gold and 18K gold. The movement caliber 88 is a modified Valjoux caliber 72C. Due to the high selling cost at the time, very few were made, subsequently it is now a highly collectible vintage wristwatch.
