Rare Lord Elgin “Chairman” men’s Retro Modern design wristwatch in solid 14K yellow gold, circa 1954.


The “Chairman” is a rare watch and has a large, heavy gold case with massive, faceted lugs. It was priced at the top of Elgin’s line at $200.00 in 1954. This example is in excellent condition showing only light wear. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. Case measures 36mm long and 23mm wide. Original bright Butler finish dial is excellent, has solid gold applied markers. Has new correct glass crystal with center facet to match faceted bezel. The watch is powered by its correct 21-jewel Elgin grade 670 manual movement, not recently serviced, but running strong. I will service the movement before shipping.


Price $1,500.
