Housed in a beautiful 18K pink gold case (hallmarked 0.750 and Swiss poinçon de maître), this piece was specifically designed for medical professionals, featuring a pulsometer scale graduated for 15 pulsations — a tool for quickly measuring a patient’s heart rate. The watch is powered by the legendary Universal Genève Caliber 285 manual-winding chronograph movement, known for its durability, precision, and horological significance. The silvered dial remains completely original, untouched, and has developed a gorgeous, even patina over time. The applied pink gold Arabic numerals and the blued chronograph hands remain intact, giving the watch an incredibly charming vintage presence. The case remains unpolished, retaining its original sharp lines and full proportions, with clearly visible gold hallmarks. All chronograph functions operate properly, and the watch keeps time accurately for its age. This Medico-Compax is an exceptional collector’s piece, blending historical relevance, mechanical excellence, and timeless aesthetic beauty. Rarely seen in today’s market — especially in such honest and original condition.
