No specific model name, "just" a Memovox. Case looks unusual - most likely a French or British production case. Guess a late 50s watch. Does it have any hallmarks? Value depends on gold content, but surely around 1k or above. BTW. crystal seems to have a crack at 7/8 hour. |

I have the same watch. For some time I myself was a bit doubtful about the 'original' status of the case (unusual smooth concave bezel edge and somewhat vague shape around crowns), until I saw at least 2 exact similar versions and now yours. I could also identify this memovox as the reference E852 in an old catalog (a reference that existed apparently only in gold) I believe total production of this watch was extremely limited Here is mine
