Very rare Gruen "Platinum & Diamonds" men's Art Deco design pocket watch in solid platinum with 57 diamonds, circa 1924.
This fantastic Gruen pocket watch has a solid platinum case with the bezel set with 50 diamonds and the pendant set with 7 diamonds. I have seen only a handful of these, all with the same distinctive trefoil design pendant. This example is in excellent condition showing only light wear. Caseback is excellent, has an elaborate stylized monogram and a few small dings. The case measures 43mm in diameter. Glass crystal is excellent. Refinished dial is excellent, has solid gold applied Roman numerals. The watch is powered by a 17-jewel Gruen Veri-Thin manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong. The micro-adjustment is missing on the regulator, but this does not affect the timing adjustments.
Price $1,450.
