Doxa Steel FB Case Similar to Patek Philippe Ref. 565

A striking expression of 1950s design, this stainless steel Doxa Anti-Magnetique embodies the purposeful elegance and technical character that defined post war Swiss watchmaking. Preserved in exceptionally attractive condition, it stands out for its rare and highly appealing bullseye dial, a design prized by collectors for both its visual depth and unmistakable vintage charm. The contrasting outer track, featuring gilt Arabic numerals in a bold and highly legible style, frames a central section that has developed a warm and even champagne patina over time. Original syringe hands, retaining their period correct luminous material, have aged beautifully to a rich hazelnut tone, further enhancing the watch’s character and authenticity. A particularly unusual and compelling feature of this example is its subsidiary seconds register positioned at 9 o’clock, an uncommon and asymmetrical layout that gives the watch a distinctive personality rarely encountered in watches of the period. The steel case remains sharp and elegant, with elongated tapered lugs that lend the watch a strong presence on the wrist while preserving its classic proportions. Well preserved multi tone dials from the 1950s are increasingly difficult to find, and the combination of the Anti-Magnetique designation with this rare dial configuration makes the watch especially appealing to the knowledgeable collector. Honest, distinctive, and full of period charm, it is a fine example of vintage Doxa at its most characterful.
