GALLET MultiChron PILOT Chronograph - Valjoux 72 Movement - Circa 1960's                   Genuine Professional Military & Civilian Pilot's Chronograph         Full Man's Size at 38.1mm in diameter         World Famous Valjoux 72 Column Wheel Movement         Keeping Excellent Time - All Chronograph Features Function Perfectly         When it comes to high grade vintage timepieces, condition is everything.
                Sparing no expense with material or workmanship, Gallet timepieces were often too expensive for the average man to own. Instead, these extraordinary timepieces were purchased for specialized applications by the world’s larger institutions and organizations. Clients of Gallet include the British, Swiss and US Governments, American Airlines, North American Aeronautics, NAA Rocketdyne, Westinghouse, Ford Motors, Dodge Motors, the US Coast Guard, Indianapolis Speedway, and other entities with the financial resources to purchase the very best.         The timepiece in today’s auction represents a classic example of Gallet’s professional watchmaking at its finest. Ruggedly built from solid stainless steel, the full-size gent’s case houses the extraordinary Valjoux calibre 72 movement. Hand finished in Gallet's Swiss workshop, the famous calibre 72 was also the power inside the world's finest chronographs by such brands as Patek Philippe, Vacheron & Constantine, Jaeger LeCoultre, Tag Heuer, and the Rolex Daytona.         I was fortunate to acquire this important chronograph in such amazing condition. Stored away for over 50 years and recently serviced, the watch is in near mint condition with slight wear. The movement is keeping excellent accuracy and all chronograph time-recording features function perfectly.         This is a rare opportunity to own a wristwatch sought after by serious collectors and anyone desiring to wear a true professional timepiece. Accompanied by a fine, genuine leather strap, this beautiful timepiece is ready for many more decades of use and enjoyment in the skies as its value continue to appreciate.         Pre-Auction Estimate: $6,000.00 - $7,000.00 USD         This important wristwatch is being listed with a low opening price.        
       You might have seen this watch on ebay before… the winner had some Paypal issues and had to cancel order. That is fine because I really needed to list this important watch with pictures of the inside;  here they are…..
