Rare Elgin “Model E-9” men’s Art Nouveau design wristwatch in solid 14K white gold, circa 1928.

The “Model E-9” has ornate Art Nouveau-design stylized engravings on the bezel and case sides, and was priced at $55.00 in 1928. It is quite rare in solid white gold and this is only the third example I have ever offered. This example is in crisp, excellent condition showing only faint wear. Engraved designs are bold and crisp. Caseback is superb and unengraved, with some tiny dings and light marks along the edges. Case measures 36mm long and 27mm wide. Original factory new-old-stock dial is superb, has new luminous. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 15-jewel Elgin grade 428 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.

Price $850. SOLD
