REMARKS: Fantastic example of the Elgin ‘Lord Elgin’ Classic Model Grade 451 Pocket Watch in Mint 14K White Gold Case. This is truly a heirloom collectible antique pocket watch with one of the best movements Elgin made in the 1920s. ‘Dress’ pocket watches were the most popular and cost the highest in the 1910-1920s when design of pocket watches became smaller and thinner for wearing convenience and elegance. This particular Elgin ‘Lord Elgin’ Classic Model in 14K White Gold Case retailed for $150 in the early 1920s. It is made to compete with the best watches on the market, so from the inside-out everything was made top notch. The 14K Solid White Gold Case has a superbly fine engine-turned caseback that made it look almost holographic at certain angles. The grade 451 19 jewel movement was adjusted to a stunning 8 positions & temperatures with features such as a solid gold wheel train. It even comes with its original box from the 1920s which incredibly survived alongside the watch itself.
CONDITION REPORT: Condition-wise the watch winds and runs well but we cannot make any guarantee on function as it is over 100 years old and we have not had it serviced. Any maintenance or upkeeping is the sole responsibility of the end user. Cosmetically there really is no complaint except for a tiny bit of dial unevenness just on top of the 8 o’clock hour marker. The box has some discoloration and pitting on the outside, and the inside of the box is incredibly well preserved. Guaranteed 100% original and authentic. Diameter is 43mm.
