Rare Hamilton “Bradford B Diamond Dial” men’s Retro Modern design wristwatch in solid 14K white gold with diamond dial, circa 1959.

Although the standard “Bradford” model isn’t hard to find, it is quite rare in white gold with a factory diamond dial. Hamilton offered diamond dials on a select few of its high-end gold and platinum models in the late 1950s. The "Bradford" was priced at $300.00 with the diamond dial, twice as expensive as the standard "Bradford" with the regular dial. This is only the second example I have ever offered. This example is in crisp, excellent condition showing only very light wear. Edges of the stepped lugs are sharp. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. The case measures approximately 40mm long and 33mm wide. Original dial is excellent, has 11 factory-set diamond markers. Has new acrylic crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 22-jewel Hamilton grade 770 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.

Price $1,000. SOLD
