Dufonte by Lucien Piccard 1950s-1960s Liberty Dial Swiss Manual Wind Men's Watch w/ Box

Dufonte was a subsidiary brand of Lucien Piccard, a respected Swiss watchmaker known throughout the mid-20th century for producing refined dress watches with strong aesthetic appeal. Pieces like this Liberty dial example are believed to date to the late 1950s to early 1960s, a period when Lucien Piccard emphasized artistic dial work and slim, elegant case designs. While not produced in large numbers, Dufonte watches offered Swiss craftsmanship and design at a more accessible level, and today their more decorative models—especially those with cameo or relief dials—are increasingly sought after by collectors. The inclusion of the original Lucien Piccard / Dufonte presentation box further enhances the rarity and desirability of this example. This is a beautiful vintage Dufonte by Lucien Piccard Swiss-made manual wind men’s watch, featuring the iconic Liberty cameo dial that makes these pieces so collectible. The watch remains in exceptional condition, with a clean gold-tone case, clear crystal, and a near-mint dial that shows virtually no signs of age. It is fitted with a high-quality genuine leather strap and presents exactly as a carefully preserved collector’s piece. The movement is running strong and was recently tested on a timegrapher, performing at approximately +15 seconds per day with excellent amplitude around 285 degrees and a healthy beat error of 0.8 ms. Overall, this is a striking and elegant vintage dress watch that wears beautifully and feels far more special than the brand name alone suggests.
