Breitling for sale: Navitimer Limited Edition Patrouille de France

As I like to rotate my collection, I am selling a beautiful 1990's Navitimer Limited Edition "Patrouille de France". The hand wind movement is a Lemania 1873, which is historically linked to the cal. 321 movement on the Omega Speedmaster and to the Breguet movements today.

It's been recently serviced.

It's a real classic and should part of any good collection...
