Presenting a sophisticated vintage timepiece from Monumental, a prestigious private label historically tied to one of Lisbon’s iconic luxury watch retailers. During the mid-20th century, elite Portuguese jewelers—much like Tiffany & Co. in the US—commissioned high-grade Swiss watches to be branded under their own name for their exclusive clientele.
This specific 'Monumental Suisse' model is a rare survivor of that era, featuring a beautiful slate-grey sunburst dial and a day-date complication specifically localized for the Portuguese market, as seen by the Portuguese day wheel.
