Very rare Lord Elgin "Model 4526 Diamond Dial" men's Retro Modern design wristwatch in 14K yellow with factory diamond dial, circa 1951.


Elgin catalogued only a few of its Lord Elgin models with diamond dials; all are rare and this is one of only a handful I have ever offered. This model was priced at $235.00 in 1951, more than double the price of the regular dial version. It is in excellent condition showing only very light wear and a few light marks to the case. Caseback is superb and unengraved. The case measures 36mm long and 23mm wide. Original two-tone dial is very good, with solid gold applied markers and genuine diamond set markers. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 21-jewel Elgin grade 626 manual wind movement, serviced a few years ago and still running strong


Price $875.
