This is a rare and beautiful high-end top quality ladies solid white
gold engraved art deco Benrus from 1925 with blue inlaid enamel dial,
two high quality genuine diamonds flanked by four genuine blue sapphire
baguettes. All factory original and in mint condition. The original
silver and inlaid blue enamel dial is in pristine condition and without
flaw. It features geometric enameled designs, a 60 minute outer track
border, black enamel painted numerals and original blue steel Spade-style
hands. It is signed BENRUS below the 12 and Swiss below
the 6. The solid 14 karat white gold case is beautifully engraved on
bezel and sides with secure snap back and no personal sentiments and
measures 17mm x 29mm with solid 11mm wire lugs. The matching crown appears
to be a replacement and would probably have originally been crowned
with another blue sapphire and is the only thing on the watch that is
not factory original. Inside is the original Benrus 15 jewel with 4
adjustments movement that was the best available in it's day to match
the superb high-end quality of the case and dial. It is freshly serviced
by us and runs, winds and sets properly and is keeping very good time.
Fitted with a new navy blue leather strap that perfectly compliments
the sapphire and enamel work and will fit a wrist of 6"-7 3/8".
A beautiful investment quality heirloom ready to be worn and cherished
for generations to come.
