Scarce Elgin "States 666" men's Art Deco design wristwatch in two-tone 14K green and white gold fill with polychrome enamel, circa 1930.
The "States 666" has a two-tone case with geometric patterns inlaid with green and black enamel, inspired by Southwestern Native American designs, particularly those found in Hopi and Zuni art. It was priced at $53.00 in 1930 and is quite scarce. This example is in crisp, excellent condition with no brassing. Green and black enamel inlay is superb and complete. Caseback is excellent, with a small monogram. The case measures 35mm long and 29mm wide. Factory-original new-old-stock dial is superb. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Elgin grade 489 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong. Has original green gold-filled stepped crown.
