Vintage 9ct Gold Favre-Leuba Sea Raider Mechanical Watch

Up for sale is a beautiful and rare Favre-Leuba Sea Raider mechanical wristwatch, housed in a solid 9ct yellow gold case and complete with its original presentation box. This vintage Swiss timepiece is a fine example of mid-20th-century watchmaking, offering both understated elegance and reliable mechanical performance.

The watch features a classic silver-tone dial with gold hour markers and hands, all protected under an acrylic crystal. It’s powered by a manual-wind mechanical movement that runs well and keeps good time, reflecting the durable engineering Favre-Leuba is known for. The case is fully hallmarked 9ct gold and remains in good vintage condition, showing only light wear consistent with its age.

Fitted with a sleek black leather strap, the watch wears comfortably and looks equally refined whether dressed up or down. The strap is finished with a gold-tone buckle (not hallmarked). Completing the package is the original Favre-Leuba box – a rare find in itself and a lovely complement to this collectible piece.

Favre-Leuba is one of Switzerland’s oldest and most respected watchmakers, established in 1737. The Sea Raider line, though lesser-known today, represents a fascinating chapter in the brand’s history, and examples in solid gold cases are especially sought-after by collectors.

This is a wonderful opportunity to own a genuine vintage Swiss gold watch with charm, history, and presence. Perfect for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a unique timepiece with lasting value.
