Alfa Romeo 25th Anniversary Eska Radiator Watch From 1980 s

Description

I enjoy sports cars, and fortunate to have owned several, including: 2 Maserati's, a Lotus. several SL's, 4 Acura NSX's - if you are perhaps familiar with that supercar, 2 Austin Healeys, 3 Triumph TR-6's, an MGB-GT - along with many others.
For the past two years, my daily driver has been an Alfa Romeo Giulia, the first 4-door daily driver in well over three decades.   While I do enjoy the Giulia, there have been several issues with it "failing to proceed" - aka break down.   Thank heavens I have full factory warranty until 2024!
Recently while attending a sports car event at Road Atlanta, I purchased this nice looking Alfa Romeo wristwatch.   The cause was to help a local charity, and frankly probably over-paid.   But hey, it was for a good cause...
It is a nice looking timepiece, but more recently, my wife and I bought smart watches.   While this most unusual eye-catching Alfa watch is much cooler than a smart watch, it won't make phone calls, show emails, etc.   Consequently, I am selling this fine timepiece after only a few week of use.
After much searching, here is what I have discovered about this intriguing automotive watch -
First off, Eska was a well respected manufacturer of high end quality time pieces.   Founded in 1918, it produced outstanding watches until it's end in 1987.   Today vintage Eska timepieces are sold at Christie's, Sotheby's, Bonham, and other such high-end auction houses.
It appears that in the early 1980's, Alfa Romeo commissioned an established designer, Josiane Urweider to create a commemorative wrist watch.   Mr. Urweider designed this handsome and unusual watch that pays homage to a 1910 Alfa radiator.   According to what I have gleaned from the internet, only 1000 were produced in the 1980's.
Details:
The radiator face is 1.5" x 3/16", and thin.   The top "radiator cap" is actually the watch stem.  In addition to the full color Alfa logo , it features Alfa in gold script, and had gold hands.   I am unsure of just what the gold material is, but it certainly is distinctive.   And although a few minor blemishes are present, those are greatly magnified by the glare from the photo.  In person, barely noticeable.
The watch back is engraved with the Eska logo, along with notation it was created by Josiane Urweider.  In German it states "25 Jahre" - which translates to "25 years".   I an unsure of just what the 25 years refers to.   "NO 24" is also engraved.   I do not know if that means this example is number 24, or what.   At the bottom is engraved - "Quartz Swiss 70-45".
The band is black.  On the back one side reads - "Croco Veritable Swiss Made".   That seems to translate as "crocodile".   I do not know if that signifies it is genuine crocodile, or just the design.   The other side of the band is stamped in gold with the Eska logo and name and Swiss.
This outstanding watch is gift packaged in it's original tan velour pouch that has the Eska log stamped in gold.
So here is your opportunity to buy this fine Alfa watch for a fraction of what I have in it.   And although not needed, I had the jeweler install a new battery for added peace of mind.
I searched the internet an have been unable to find a similar such watch available for sale.
Hope it finds an appreciative new home - PLUS, in addition you will receive a free personalized hand drawn in ink cartoon "Thank You" note!
