This is a particularly rare early Navitimer viewed by ourselves and others in the vintage Breitling community as the ultimate vintage Navitimer (Save maybe a Valjoux)
Yes, there are a few other models from this era that are technically rarer but the 1963 806 draws on all the best features of Navitimers seen through the 1950’s and 60s.
Aesthetically the Gold Applied wings logo, Beaded bezel and Reverse Panda dial combined with such a low production run makes it difficult to beat.
