Rare Gruen "Curvex Virtuoso" men's Retro Modern design wristwatch in solid 14K yellow gold, circa 1950.

The "Virtuoso" was one of the last Curvex models introduced. It has a square, deeply curved case with large curlicue-shaped lags. It is a rare watch and this is only the second example I have ever offered. It is in excellent condition showing only light wear and some faint marks. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. The case measures 36mm wide and 26mm long. Refinished dial is superb. Glass crystal is excellent, with a few light marks. The watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Gruen Curvametric grade 370 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.

Price $750.
