We will be proceeding cautiously with this listing for you, to the best of our ability and knowledge.
We know that there are many Collectors out there that may share information or answers.
We ask that all bidders keep this information and questions in mind and
bid accordingly. Any and All information along the way from Watchmakers and Collectors would be appreciated. We will be passing on all information we have been able to gather to date, after hours of intense research. "We have NOT been able to locate an identical watch...anywhere!"
There are a few things that have us a little baffled...so here we go.***We do know it is an Authentic Solid 14K Yellow Gold Mido Men's Watch with a (one) Gold Star
on Dial.
Dial reads: Mido, Automatic, Datoday and Swiss Made. Back of watch reads: 14K Gold
(tested as 14K Gold) with the Number 5999 and that is all. In 1959 (see History below) Mido presented the new legendary "Mido Ocean Star" with its single piece case (Monocoque) and has been almost unaltered and remains an
important part of the Collection.
On close examination, this watch appears to be Monocoque (single piece case).
Therefore, we can NOT get inside the watch to collect any further information.
