The 56GS series of vintage Grand Seiko is second only to the 61GS with regards to the diversity of the watches produced. The three movements that were used in this series were the 5641A (no-date), 5645A (date) and 5646A (day-date), making this the only series with all three complication versions. In all there were 35 different models in the 56GS series. The C shaped 7005 case series of the 56GS were all constructed in 18k yellow gold. The 564X-7005, offered also with a GS gold bracelet, holds the distinction of being the most expensive Grand Seiko in the entire vintage Grand Seiko line up. It went for sale for JPY 500,000 which, adjusted for inflation, would be about JPY 1,700,000 today.

Overall, this all original Grand Seiko 5641-7005 no date is in fantastic condition. The yellow gold case although polished in the past, is in great condition with no visible scratches and the C-shape maintains its beautiful curves. All the engravings and hallmarks on the gold case back are very crisp too including the Japanese flag on the case back proving that the gold was certified by the Japanese mint. The original linen textured dial has aged well and has developed an attractive cream color. The dial has n blemishes. The Seiko Hardlex mineral crystal has no major scratches The gold hour and minute hands are original and shows aging but is in great shape. The original gold crown is in crisp condition as well. This 56GS comes with its 18k yellow gold Grand Seiko buckle which in itself is extremely rare and valuable. The movement was serviced by our watchmaker and is currently running at an excellent -4.3 seconds / day. The watch comes with a new high quality beige togo calf leather strap made by Handdn.
