A spectacular 1956 Bulova President "P" wristwatch. Featuring an ultrathin 17 jewel, Swiss-made 10BU movement that has been inspected, serviced, and timegrapher regulated to ensure accuracy.
1956 set the standard for many Bulova models and this President is a perfect example. The low profile 10k RGP case (32.2mm excluding the crown) is in very fine condition. Beneath the newly installed crystal lies an incredibly well-preserved dial with nine diamonds. The elongated gold index hands align perfectly with the gemmed indices, even the small second hand matches. The Bulova logo is crisp and clean and the original mushroom crown is present. The matching gold plated snap-on caseback is in great shape and all date codes match.
The President comes on lightly padded and stitched tan leather bands by Dakota. The lug width is 18mm and the bands are "long", measuring an inch or so longer than regular bands. They will fit a wider array of wrist sizes, including large wrists. Overall, this is one of the slimmest, most elegant President variants of the Fifties and is always in demand with Bulova collectors. It has clearly been well cared for and will quickly become one of your favorite watches!
