Elgin Model 5705

Elgin “Model 5705” men’s Retro Modern design wristwatch in 10K white gold fill, circa 1947.

The "Model 5705" has a subtly-stepped case with angled lugs. The white case usually has a dark gray dial, but I have fitted this example with an original rose finish dial. It is in crisp, excellent condition with only a few tiny specks of brassing. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. Case measures 35mm long and 27mm wide. Original rose finish dial is very good, with some slight patina from age. Has new glass crystal. Watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Elgin grade 555 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.
