Description: C.1969AThis exceptionally rare, solid 18k yellow gold Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute, Reference 806, is a remarkable piece of horological and space history, not merely a timepiece but a piece of an aviator's legacy. Worn by astronaut Scott Carpenter during the pivotal 1962 Mercury-Atlas 7 mission, where it became the first Swiss wristwatch to journey into space, this model is specifically engineered with a unique 24-hour dial to distinguish day and night in orbit, powered by the highly regarded manual-winding Venus 178 calibre. This particular example is elevated by its luxurious 18k gold case and is offered with its original 18k gold buckle, which is an exceedingly rare and desirable feature that confirms the watch's provenance and exceptional condition.18k Yellow GoldSize: 40mm x 48mm;Private London CollectorThis item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
