Breitling Co-Pilot 43mm 765-CP Sean Claude B&P First Buyer AFR1904

For sale is an exceptional and highly prized watch among collectors: theBreitling Co-Pilot Ref. 765 CP, also known by the nickname“Jean-Claude Killy”.

The Ref. 765 CP is one of the most distinctive Breitling chronographs of the 1960s. The “CP” model designation stands forCo-Pilot. Particularly striking is the high-contrastreverse panda dial with a black base and light sub-dials. Together with the black rotating bezel and generously sized stainless steel case, the watch has the unmistakable instrument character of classic pilot chronographs.

This reference became famous not least thanks to French alpine skierJean-Claude Killy, who wore a Breitling 765 CP at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, where he won three gold medals.

Inside is the legendaryVenus 178— a mechanical chronograph caliber with hand-winding and column-wheel control. A distinctive feature of the Co-Pilot is the large15-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, which was originally designed to meet the requirements of aviation.

The stainless steel case measures approx.41–41.5 mm and was exceptionally large for its time. This makes the 765 CP look bold and sporty on the wrist even today. The black anodized bezel, reverse panda layout, and acrylic crystal emphasize its authentic vintage character.

The scope of delivery is particularly noteworthy: The watch is offered withbox & papers and comes from theoriginal purchaser / first buyer. Especially with a rare vintage reference like the 765 CP, verifiable provenance with original documents represents a special aspect for collectors.
