We are excited to present a one-of-a-kind vintage timepiece – the **Certina DS Automatic**. This watch features a Swiss automatic calibre 25-651 known for its exceptional timekeeping accuracy, making it a standout from its era. Measuring 46mm lug to lug and 36mm in case width, this watch offers a bold yet comfortable fit on the wrist, striking a perfect balance between sophistication and size. This model is truly a rare find in the world of watch collecting. Dating back to 1959, this timepiece ceased production shortly after, adding to its historical significance. Identified by the model reference number 5806 012, its rarity is further highlighted. An interesting fact about this model is its Swiss patent and unique design without the iconic turtle back case. Initially produced for a short period before the introduction of the turtle back case, this model holds a special place in watchmaking history. The watch was originally acquired in 1961, with estimates suggesting it hit the market in the late 1960s based on shipping times. Don’t let this opportunity slip away to own a piece of horological history. This vintage timepiece not only tells time but also narrates a rich story of innovation and style within the watchmaking industry.
