Rare Lord Elgin "Model 4526" men's Retro Modern design wristwatch in solid 14K yellow gold with factory diamond dial, circa 1952.


The "Model 4526" has a fluted bezel and a dial with three genuine diamond markers. It is one of the few factory diamond dial wristwatches offered by Elgin and was priced at $235.00 in 1952. It is quite rare and this is the first I have ever offered. This example is in excellent condition showing only light wear. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. Case measures 35mm long and 23mm wide. Original dial is very good, with some patina. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 21-jewel Elgin grade 626 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.


Price $625. SOLD
