Zannetti Regent RM-859 Sailing Dial Chronograph Part of my private collection, built over many years with a focus on independent watchmaking, artistic dials, and mechanically honest chronographs. This piece is offered as part of a refinement, and not without hesitation. The defining element of this watch is its sailing-themed dial, executed as a true hand-crafted composition rather than a stamped or printed design. The scene depicts rigging, sails, and sea in multiple layers, creating depth that changes continuously with light and viewing angle. The central chronograph registers contrast with the engraved background, giving the watch both functionality and artistic presence. This is not a decorative variation, but a dial that required manual work and time from a period when such execution was part of the craft itself, not a marketing narrative. Subtle variations make each example slightly unique. The watch is powered by the Valjoux 7750 automatic chronograph, modified and finished by Zannetti. A well-known and proven calibre, valued for its robustness, reliability, and long-term serviceability. It remains one of the most respected workhorse chronograph movements, offering consistent and dependable performance over time. The Regent case is executed in polished stainless steel, with balanced proportions that allow the dial to remain the focal point. Sapphire crystal protects the front, with a solid engraved caseback, while the signed crown and pushers complete the watch. The watch has been very lightly worn, showing only a couple of fine hairline marks on the caseback visible under close inspection. The case, crystal, dial, and strap remain in near-new condition, overall carefully preserved. It comes complete with its original Zannetti presentation box, warranty booklet, and documentation, a full set. Zannetti produces in very limited quantities, and the RM-859 Sailing Dial Chronograph stands among the brand’s more expressive pieces. This is not a watch defined by brand recognition, but by execution and individuality. It appeals to collectors who look beyond mainstream luxury and value hand-crafted detail and independent production. In today’s market, it is increasingly common to see watches priced in the tens of thousands worn by multiple individuals in the same setting. This piece represents a different approach offering a level of individuality and artistic execution that is rarely encountered, regardless of price point. Opportunities to acquire such a watch are uncommon, not because of artificial scarcity, but because of the nature of its production. It is, simply, a watch that you are unlikely to encounter on another wrist. For any questions or further details, feel free to get in touch. The watch will be securely packaged and shipped with care. Import duties and local taxes, if applicable, remain the responsibility of the buyer.
