Archiva has found one public sale of Ref. 1567 in the last five years: $2,850 at Van Ham in May 2023. One sale is a rough guide, not a market price. For comparison, from November 2023 to November 2026: Ladies' 24 mm, steel or steel and gold (Ref. 1057930 and 1565): two sales, $1,050 and $1,800.

Van Ham catalogs the movement as the Cal. 157. Dated examples run from 1998 into the 2000s.

How is the 1567 different from the Ref. 1565?

How is it different from the Ref. 1566 and the Ref. 187901?

By size and the date. The 1566 and the earlier 187901 are the large steel and gold quartz Galbées, 29 × 41 mm, with a date at 6 o'clock. The 1567 is the small model, 24 × 35 mm, with no date.

What should the case back read?

1567, with a case number. Van Ham recorded case number CC72266 beside Reference-No 1567 on an example dated 1998.

What should I check before buying a Ref. 1567?

Visual Description

The Ref. 1567 is the small Santos Galbée in steel and gold. Amsterdam Watch Company and WannaBuyAWatch give the case as 24 × 35 mm, Analog/Shift as 24 mm and Van Ham as 23 mm. The case is stainless steel and the bezel 18k yellow gold, fixed by screws. Dials are white with black Roman numerals, silvered, or gray with applied gold Roman numerals, under blued steel sword hands and a sapphire crystal, with no date. The integrated bracelet is steel with gold screws and a signed folding clasp.

Reference Significance

The 1567 is the steel and gold version of the small Galbée; the Ref. 1565 is the same 24 × 35 mm quartz model in steel only. The large steel and gold quartz Galbées, the Ref. 187901 and the Ref. 1566, are 29 × 41 mm with a date at 6 o'clock. Van Ham catalogs the movement as the Cal. 157.

Historical Context

Van Ham sold an example dated 1998 with its box and documents, and Amsterdam Watch Company dates one to about 1999. Analog/Shift and WannaBuyAWatch date others to the 1990s, and WannaBuyAWatch one to the 2000s. The start and end of production are not documented.

What to Look For

Bracelet: Test each link for lateral play and check that the folding clasp closes firmly.

Gold parts: The gold of the bezel and the bracelet screws should match in color and show no wear through or heavy polishing.

Screws: The bezel screws should have matching heads and undamaged slots.

Movement and case back: The quartz should run and keep time after a new battery, and the case back should carry the 1567 number.
