Not a find.

Double caseback is a 100% fail proof indication that it is not a Breitling case, Breitling gold cases were thick enough to not need a double back.

Far from a find. Typical Chronographe Suisse "tourist chronograph" from the early 50s, with a paper thin 18k case that needed an additional metal cover for stability. Sadly VERY often redialed to be a "Breitling"', though I am sure this one will sell and reach quite a high price.

Where is the reference number or a period correct serial number, coxolfi ?
