for the ideal Lady. Selling my late wife's Breitling Callisto. This watch was the last of my wife's four Breitlings and IMO possibly the nicest. From the "Windrider" series, the Callisto is considered by some to be a gent's or lady's watch because it has a 34.4mm diameter. Fitted with the amazingly comfortable "Pilot" bracelet, this particular and rare Callisto is the last Ladie's full 11 diamond Mother Of Pearl dial piece with diamond bezel sold by Breitling. ("Top Wesseltons", certificate included) The thermocompensated "Superquartz" caliber B77 movement is, like all Breitlings after the year 2000, COSC certified to .07 sec/day or better accuracy. TZ "near mint" condition, freshly serviced, complete box and papers. I am the Breitling moderator on another well known forum and will provide references on request. Price is $4000 USD FIRM, shipping and insurance included (U.S. addresses). Please PM or email inquiries. Thank you.
Ron

Like all of your watches Ron, it is beautiful, and it looked beautiful on her wrist. If my wife cared a lick for watches this would be sold now. Best of luck in the sale, and I am sorry we will not be seeing any more perfect pics of it. :cry:

Thank you so much Doc for your kind and thoughtful comments. :oops: The only "new" pics I shot of it were the box/papers yesterday using the camera handheld. I would have taken some new and better posed shots of it for the sale but it just makes me sad to think about doing that. :cry: I really hope it goes to a good home and is enjoyed by another fine Lady... :)
Best,
Ron

Sometimes real life insists on invading our nice fantasy world of watches, and that's when this community is at its best. I know that you have had a rough time Ron, now that you have shared your loss please know that we are all thinking of you. For those who don't know Ron is a legend in the Breitling community that goes back far before BreitlingSource existed, and he has given more time and knowledge to the passion than anyone.

This is a sales thread and I don't want to derail it, trust this man, know that the watch will have been looked after incredibly well and give this watch the home that it deserves.

Rene' and Roff, as with the Doc, I am so appreciative and humbled by your kind words and thoughts. :oops: I know this is just another page in life which I have to turn and hopefully turning the pages won't be so difficult in coming days...
Kind Regards,
Ron
