Notes: For your consideration is an opportunity to own a reference that rarely comes up for sale. The beautiful Zenith El Primero A3817 with its one of kind Tri-color dial and legendary hi-beat movement. While at first glance it appears to look exactly like the A386 dial, upon close inspection it is clear they are not the same. These were not left over dials from the A386 that were simply thrown in a different case but actually a dial made and intended for the A3817. The most distinctive features on the dial are the grey outer tachymeter ring and the 9 o'clock sub dial with its bright blue accents and hand. Add the completely different hands and case and you have a unique El Primero that one could argue is Zenith's best looking. Here is your rare opportunity to own this limited reference.


Price: $9300.00 Fedex shipped and fully insured. Payment by bank wire. For international shipping please add $30.00
