My dad bought this Stauer for me when I was 20 and started showing interest in watches. 13 years later I still enjoy it, and it’s a staple in my collection.
That said, I know that Stauer’s claim is to make quality/accurate replicas of historic timepieces.
This has me wondering what the real version of my Stauer is… I have seen some close examples that I can definitely see the Stauer drawing inspiration from. But is there actually a vintage piece that looks like this Stauer? If so, I’d be super curious to try and obtain one some day. I love the dial and the blue hands/markers. I couldn’t imagine how beautiful the real watch is if there is one.

That's a tough one. I can see inspiration from a Vacheron Constantin Jubilee 240 47240. But it's really close to aCartier Yellow Gold Tortue Chronograph Monopoussoir.
Cartier Roadster is a likely inspiration.
Given the age of it, it is also quite possible it borrowed heavily from Daniel Roth at the time.
Looks like a Daniel Roth S177 without the Chrono
Also I have a fashion watch with the same case look
Thank you all!

Yea, my immediate thought after looking at this case was - Daniel Roth. Distinct form you cannot forget :)
Important brand btw, in terms of history and man behind. He still makes watches as independent family brand Jean Daniel Nicolas and is true to his spirit
Daniel Roth
Don't forget Tiffany.....
