Rare Elgin "Model 176" men's Art Deco design wristwatch in solid 14K white gold, circa 1929.

The "Model 176" has a hammered design bezel and was priced at $75.00 in 1929. It is a rare model and this is only the third example I have ever offered. It is in crisp, excellent condition showing only light wear. Case edges are sharp and the hammered bezel retains most of its dull finish. Caseback is superb and unengraved, with its original brushed finish. Case measures 33mm long and 22mm wide. Original dial is very good, has developed a subtle pebbled patina. Has new glass crystal. The watch is powered by its correct 15-jewel Elgin grade 484 manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong.

Price $900.
