Vintage Tissot PR 516 Automatic Watch

This is a vintage Tissot PR 516 automatic wristwatch, likely dating from the 1970s. The watch features a tonneau-shaped case with a gold-toned plated finish and a distinct fluted or engine-turned bezel. The sunburst gold dial is accented with raised rectangular hour markers and a day-date complication at the 3 o'clock position, showing the day in Spanish (MIE for Miércoles). The dial is marked with the Tissot logo, 'TISSOT SWISS', and the model designation 'AUTOMATIC PR 516' in black and red text. The watch is fitted with a two-tone integrated jubilee-style bracelet with visible wear to the plating, particularly on the rounded center links. As for condition, the acrylic crystal shows significant surface scratches and scuffing throughout. The case also exhibits minor pitting, scratches, and some wear-through of the gold plating on the lugs and edges. This piece represents the 'Particularly Resistant' (PR) line from Tissot's racing-inspired era, showcasing typical 1970s Swiss craftsmanship with a robust mechanical movement.
