This is a rare vintage commemorative wristwatch celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the iconic Italian scooter brand Vespa Piaggio (1946 - 1996). The most unique feature of this watch is its animated seconds hand, which is shaped like a miniature silhouette of a Vespa scooter. As the watch runs, the scooter literally drives in a circle around the central jubilee laurel wreath emblem. The dial also proudly displays the Piaggio corporate P logo with the number 50 and the dates 1946-1996. This is a highly sought-after collectible piece of original corporate merchandise from the mid-1990s, perfect for any Vespa owner, scooter enthusiast, or vintage watch collector. It comes with its original black presentation storage box and display cushion.
Condition
The watch is in excellent, fully operational vintage condition and keeps accurate time. A brand new silver-oxide battery has just been installed. The gold-plated case and glass dial window show minimal signs of age. The original black textured leather strap remains intact and in great shape. The original black presentation box has been well-preserved and is included in the sale.
