Hamilton Putnam
Scarce Hamilton “Putnam” men's Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K yellow gold fill, circa 1933.
The “Putnam” is Hamilton’s most dramatically stepped Art Deco design wristwatch from the 1930s, which keeps it in high demand among collectors today. It was priced to consumers at $55.00 in 1933. This example is in excellent condition with light brassing to the highpoints of the lugs. Caseback is very good with some areas of wear near the crown, and some shallow dents. Case measures 34mm long and 28mm wide. Refinished two-tone dial is superb, has solid 18K gold applied numerals. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Hamilton grade 987-F manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
