Rare Art Deco style reaching the absolute limits of wristwatch size for it's time. This watch was the best and most expensive Elgin Watch Co. offered in the late 1930s. Elgin watch Co. produced some 40 million pocket and wristwatches since 1868. This model represented the very best Elgin had to offer; 1) Long curved retangular design, incorporating Art Deco style with a modern look; 2) High Grade 21 Jewel movement, and 3) Solid 14k Yellow Gold. Everything is original; most importantly, the dial. The Flexable yellow gold filled bracelet is original and also in neaer mint condition. This bracelet allows a fit on any mid to Extra lrge mens wrist size. Not suprisingly, this watch looks good on a gentlemans wrist, even today! Clean, running and very desirable, and especially collectible.
THIS IS A FINE COLLECTIBLE. DON'T INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKET. BUY SOMETHING PROVEN IN TIME.
