Formula for success? Start with a sleek egg-shaped case, throw in a dazzling faceted crystal, crown it with a golden medallion, and voilà, you’ve got this beauty right here: The Citizen Leopard Highness Ref.4-4720300Y. Not only quirky, but it's one of the very few Citizen models to earn an official Chronometer rating from the Suisse des Chronomètres institute before its dissolution. 
 
The case features a fully polished, elegant egg-shaped silhouette, topped with a beautifully faceted, multi-layered crystal that adds real visual depth. At first glance, the dial might appear plain white, but bring it into the light, and a delicate vertical brushed texture quietly reveals itself. It features applied hour markers, a framed day-date window, and the Citizen logo, all giving the dial a subtle depth. The rest of the print is done in crisp black, matching the black skeleton hands and the elegant sweeping seconds hand for a clean, cohesive look. It might sound like a lot of praise for a single watch, but somehow, everything comes together effortlessly, and it just works.
 
And we're not done yet, the real cherry on top is on the caseback: Flip it over and you'll find a seal tag with the caliber reference and serial number still intact, covering a golden crown logo, echoing the one on the dial.
 
Even by today’s standards, the Leopard Highness stands out as a true gem, worthy of appreciation not just for its refined design, but for the global recognition it brought to Citizen as a serious contender in the realm of watchmaking excellence.
 
The watch is unworn and it will be sold as, please let us know if you want to service it.
