Conclusion / Condition:
In summary, this vintage Mido offers exceptional value, combining refined 1950s design with a high-quality stainless-steel case by the legendary François Borgel. The applied logo, finely executed hour markers and recessed crown highlight a level of craftsmanship more commonly associated with top-tier maisons. Still largely overlooked by the wider vintage market, Borgel-cased Mido watches remain a compelling and elegant choice for collectors seeking quality, history and discretion at an attractive price point.
