Zenith
Cioccolatino

Housed in a massive and well preserved 18k yellow gold case manufactured by Ponti Gennari, this Zenith is a dress watch full of character.

The square shape that earned this kind of watches the nickname "cioccolatino" (italian for chocolate) was extremely popular in the fifties and sixties, yet is rarely seen paired to a black dial and automatic movement, as in the present watch.

Furthermore, this Cioccolatino is powered by Zenith's own automatic caliber 133.8, a bumper movement designed in 1951 that, at the time of its launch, was the thinnest center seconds bumper caliber in the world.

The well preserved and pleasantly patinated black dial, showing an applied gold star above the signature of 12 o'clock - Zenith's signature - completes the charming look of the piece.
