Vintage 1970’s Parker Ladies Rally style watch. This timepiece is in phenomenon condition. The dial is the true highlight of this watch, with it’s chunky retro style rally – a real treat! Especially combined with the nice, chunky mint green lume indexes. The case is a nice 32mm size with an original metal bezel, while the simple, high-quality strap is the standard 18mm width. The 1960’s and early 70’s saw a massive rise in popularity of rally style watches, with the boom particularly concentrated in France. Today, the most interesting rally style watches tend to hail from there, and you can be sure that pretty much any French made watch you stumble across will be a real treat to wear. The movement is in great condition, and still works perfectly despite its age.
