Stunning Gubelin art deco solid 18 karat white and yellow
gold barrel cased early men's wristwatch with chased and enameled bezel
in absolutely mint, factory original pristine condition. The exquisite
art deco chased and enameled yellow gold bezel and hinged back give
a wonderful contrast to the solid 18k white gold solid lugged center
case. 27mm x 37mm with 16mm solid lugs. The factory original two toned
dial mirrors the white and yellow gold case colors and is as fresh and
beautiful as the day it left the Gubelin factory 90 years ago. Black
minutes register surrounds the golden numerals track with black deco
numerals over the silvered dial with sub seconds at 6:00. Original Breguet
moon hands in blued steel in mint condition. Inside beats the original
Gubelin 15 ruby jeweled high grade in-house movement that is freshly
service and operates flawlessly, keeping excellent time. Original mineral
glass crystal is flawless. Fitted with a new Hirsch black leather strap.
The condition of this watch is like new, inside and out. It has clearly
been seldom if ever worn and well cared for over the past 90 years.
This exceptional Gubelin is the most beautiful example
of art deco craftsmanship we have ever seen. This watch is an original
work of art of the highest quality and equal to anything from Cartier
or Tiffany at the time. This watch was only sold through Gubelin's two
existing stores in Switzerland at that time and would have been made
in extremely limited numbers. You will likely never see another.
