If you appreciate classic, mid-century Swiss design, this Zenith Stellina from 1966 is an absolute gem. It’s crafted from solid 9ct gold, complete with official hallmarks, giving it that unmistakable warm and sophisticated presence on the wrist. Tucked inside the 33mm case is a neat little detail for longevity: a screw-down caseback paired with an inner dust cover to keep the movement safe and clean. The watch is fully signed across the dial, case, and movement, and it comes paired with a great-looking leather strap and pin buckle that fits the overall vintage vibe perfectly.
This particular piece comes as a complete set with its original box and papers, adding an extra layer of history. It was originally retailed by the prestigious royal jewelers Garrard and was presented as a milestone gift to an employee for their 30 years of dedicated service at Lamson Paragon, culminating in 1966. Originally famous for pioneering retail carbon-copy docket books and overhead cash-carrier systems, Lamson Paragon was a massive name in British business efficiency and printing throughout the 20th century.
Beating inside is the legendary Zenith Calibre 40-T manual-wind movement. Packing 17 jewels, it’s a caliber known among collectors for its absolute reliability and pinpoint precision—a true testament to why vintage Zenith is so highly regarded. Between the solid gold construction, retail pedigree, and complete presentation set, this Stellina is an incredibly charming dress watch with a wonderful story to tell.
