Zenith El Primero A386 Only Watch 2019

About this reference

The Zenith El Primero A386 Only Watch 2019 is a unique piece produced specifically for the 2019 Only Watch charity auction. This reference features a 38mm case constructed from 18k white gold, a material not used for the original 1969 A386 production. It houses the El Primero caliber 400, a high-frequency automatic integrated chronograph movement. The dial retains the signature tri-color sub-dial layout but replaces the standard blue register with a turquoise sub-dial at three o'clock, a color specific to the 2019 auction theme. Collectors value this reference for its status as a one-of-one production and its lifetime warranty and service package included by the manufacturer. At its original sale at Christie’s in November 2019, the watch realized a price of 75,000 CHF. Due to its unique nature, secondary market availability is non-existent, placing its theoretical value in the high five-figure to low six-figure range.
