Gubelin Solid 18k White and Yellow Gold and Enameled Art Deco Men's Watch, c.1923 in Mint Condition
 

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.
