Breitling Genève Automatic Date Dress Watch – 18K Yellow Gold Ref. 2605 – Rare ‘String’ Textured Sunburst Dial – 1960s

We are proud to offer a remarkable and seldom-seen dress timepiece from Breitling’s golden era of horology: the Breitling Genève Automatic Date Ref. 2605, cased in solid 18K yellow gold and powered by the trusted Felsa 4004 automatic movement. What sets this example apart—and elevates it to a collector’s dream—is its highly unusual original dial, a radiating masterpiece of craftsmanship we call the “string” spiral sunburst dial.

A Dial Unlike Any Other – Textured ‘String’ Spiral Sunburst

At the heart of this vintage treasure lies its incredibly rare and likely unique original Breitling dial, characterized by a radiating spiral pattern that resembles concentric strings unfurling outward from the center. The effect is both textural and optical—fine grooved rings etched in relief, forming a dynamic, circular flow from the small central point all the way to the outer dial edge.

Unlike traditional sunburst finishes that catch light in linear or brushed rays, this dial exhibits a mesmerizing circular shimmer, as light dances over the finely textured ridges. The craftsmanship suggests an experimental or custom production variant from Breitling—a dial design we have never encountered before on any reference, let alone one in this pristine state.

wheels are perfect
Size: Large, Color: Black
Really happy with this umbrella base so far. It feels sturdy and well-made, especially once filled—it definitely has the weight to keep my umbrella in place, even on windy days. The wheels are a huge plus. I can move it around the patio without struggling, which makes adjusting for shade super easy. The square design also looks clean and doesn’t take up too much space. Setup was simple, and it fits my umbrella perfectly. Overall, it does exactly what I needed—strong, stable, and easy to move. Great buy.

Easy rolling base
Size: Large, Color: Black
I purchased the umbrella base to enabling the ability to hold our umbrella and easy maneuver the umbrella on a paver patio. The base supported the umbrella and rolled sufficiently on the paver surface. However I did have an issue when readying the base for storage that the plastic umbrella pole support caused a black staining liquid on the pavers when it spilled on the patio
