The Seventies Evolution Of A Classic Form

Baume & Mercier has long occupied an esteemed position within the horological landscape, celebrated for its ability to infuse classical Swiss watchmaking discipline with expressive, avant-garde styling. The 1970s marked a definitive era of experimentation for the house, moving away from traditional round configurations to embrace bold, geometric profiles. This "Tank" reference 37059B is a masterfully proportioned distillation of that design philosophy, utilizing a tailored 25x33mm rectangular silhouette. Executed in solid 18k yellow gold, the architecture delivers a sophisticated, low-profile alternative that carries a rich vintage presence on the wrist without relying on sheer scale to make an impact.

The Warm Visual Depth Of The Exotic Dial

The undeniable centerpiece of this rare timepiece is its stylized faux tiger's eye dial. During the 1970s, luxury houses confidently leaned into organic textures, using artistic mediums to capture the multi-tonal, horizontal striations of exotic stones. This dial presents a deep, warm canvas of gold and amber bands that play beautifully with incoming light, offering the immense depth of a mineral dial with excellent structural resilience. By completely eliminating standard hour markers, hands, and secondary text, the minimalist layout allows the rich texture of the dial to blend seamlessly with the surrounding 18k yellow gold case, treating the watch face as a pure piece of wearable art.

Very Good Preservation And Slender Proportions

Overall condition is very good. The solid 18k yellow gold case has been beautifully preserved, retaining its sharp rectangular transitions, uniform thickness, and clean lines. The caseback remains highly detailed, displaying a crisp, deep serial number stamp (658358) alongside its factory hallmarks. The faux tiger's eye dial is in immaculate condition, showing no signs of fading, moisture ingress, or environmental breakdown. Fitted to a premium leather strap, the watch wraps fluidly around the anatomy of the wrist. Mechanically, the manual-wind movement has been thoroughly bench-tested and verified, confirming strong performance and excellent operational reliability.

An Understated Touch Of Retro Luxury

The reference 37059B is a timepiece built for the individual who values historical design execution and quiet connoisseurship. Powered by a thin, manual-wind caliber, it fosters a direct, physical connection between the owner and the mechanical soul of the watch through the daily ritual of winding. Its compact 25x33mm dimensions ensure an incredibly comfortable fit that sits entirely flush against the skin, slipping effortlessly under any formal dress sleeve. Clean, honest, and increasingly difficult to source in this tier of preservation, it remains an elegant and character-rich statement piece of independent vintage luxury.

History

Baume & Mercier traces its origins to 1830 in Switzerland, making it one of the older names in watchmaking. Part of the Richemont group since the late 1980s, the brand produced elegant dress watches throughout the 1970s through 1990s in 18-karat gold — pieces like the TV Integrated Dress, the Tiffany-double-stamped examples, and the Shogun — that represent a style of refined Swiss watchmaking that has largely disappeared from current production. Our vintage examples in yellow and rose gold are understated in the way that genuinely well-made things tend to be.

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
