Description

Grand Seiko GS-SBGW003 Anniversary Limited Edition This rare watch is arguably the most beautiful Grand Seiko of all and is truly a grail piece. The dial has so much depth with it's gorgeous golden numerals and blued steel hands. The watch was released in 2001 to celebrate the 120th anniversary of Seiko and this example is one of 300pcs produced. The watch is in overall excellent condition and comes with all boxes and an absolute stack of papers/documentation. There is some light wear on the band (one of the belt loops has come stitched), but otherwise excellent given it's age. Truely a collectors piece that rarely comes up for sale.
