My dads uncle was an arbitrator during the 60's and 70's. He used to travel to europe to arbitrate cases and was given this watch from a foreign dignitary. My dad has had the watch since the mid 70's. The day and month is in French and it keeps the lunar phase as well as the numerical date. The front says "Orator 17 Rubis" and "Lunodat." The back says "Acier inoxydable," which I believe means stainless steel. We are wondering the worth of the watch today, if any. FrontBack

Probably a $500-600 type thing in today's market assuming everything works.
