About this reference
The Zenith El Primero A386 Unique Piece in PT950 platinum was produced in 2019 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the El Primero movement. This specific reference, designated 40.P386.400/57.C842, features a 38mm case and a unique lapis lazuli dial, distinguishing it from the standard tri-color sub-dial configurations of the original 1969 steel models. It houses the high-frequency Calibre 400 automatic chronograph movement. As a unique piece, it was created specifically for the Phillips Geneva Watch Auction: X, where it sold for 250,000 CHF. Because only one example exists, it does not have a standard secondary market price range; however, its valuation remains in the mid-six-figure bracket based on its singular auction history. The watch is notable for being the only vintage-style A386 ever officially produced by Zenith in platinum with a stone dial, and it includes a fifty-year international warranty.
