{"product_id":"favre-leuba-deep-blue","title":"Favre Leuba Deep Blue 1st generation - Great patina","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFavre-Leuba is one of Switzerland's oldest watch manufacturers, founded in 1737 — a lineage that most of its more celebrated competitors cannot match. The Deep Blue, produced in the 1960s, was the maison's serious entry into the dive watch market: rotating bezel, water resistance, bold legibility, and the distinctive arrow-tipped hands and indices that give it an immediately recognisable character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis particular example has lived a life. The dial has transformed over decades into something that no restoration could produce and no new watch could wear: a textured, mottled surface of gold, cream, and shadow, where the original black has retreated to reveal the underlying layers in a pattern as unique as a fingerprint. The orange-tipped arrow hands and matching indices still read against it — a testament to the quality of the original construction. The \"Deep Blue\" signature remains legible at 6 o'clock, as does the date aperture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe black bezel retains its insert in good condition, and the overall case presents with the honest wear of a tool watch that has been used as intended but probably unpolished. Te caseback itself is a joy to watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor the collector who understands that a dial like this cannot be ordered — only found. And that finding one is half the pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sabiwatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57782238118152,"sku":null,"price":3800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/3477\/8632\/files\/1305_Favre_Leuba_Deep_Blue.jpg?v=1778422344","url":"https:\/\/sabiwatches.com\/products\/favre-leuba-deep-blue","provider":"Sabiwatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
