AOPA Valjoux 72 Navitimer I have ever seen.

The condition is simply awesome, 100% original & unrestored / unpolished, showing light patina, extremely clean dial showing no cracks or hair lines at all, look at the numbers on the dial, not a single discoloration; it’s just amazing after 56 years.
Hands shows a little aging matching the colour of the numbers, the Val 72 AOPA’s had matte silver plated hands and they all corrode more or less, but the plating is still on those hands and in pretty good condition.

I do now have 3 of them in my collection.

It is seller’s pictures, and I will of course post a better one when I get the watch.

Awesome - that looks like it was put in a drawer on the day it was bought and left there until now. Amazing condition.
