It is difficult to imagine a more sophisticated design than this 1951 21 ruby-jeweled Lord Elgin fluted wristwatch in solid 14k yellow gold. Sleek, stylish and expertly engineered, this was the watch to which every man aspired post WWII. Considered one of the finest watches of the day, this Lord Elgin not only embodies the elegance of a new Era, it remains a nearly perfect example of Elgin's stylistic achievement.
Measuring 35mm by 22mm, this fluted tonneau wristwatch features handsome, fully-restored pearlescent dial with applied gold numerals, highlighted by gold spear hands. Open its "14k gold" marked back and you'll find its original completely cleaned, oiled and calibrated ULTRA high grade 21 ruby jeweled "670" Lord Elgin movement with compensated balance and regulator.
Quite easily one of the finest examples of its kind, this watch looks almost as crisp as it did in the jeweler's case in 1951. Whether you're looking for the perfect watch for your next leading man, or you're searching for JUST the right watch to woo the jury during your next big case, this watch is an excellent choice.
