Hermes 14ct gold gents’ vintage watch - c1940s

Description

This is a really beautiful watch, one of my favourites - a rare Hermes gents' solid 14ct gold watch, dating from the 1940s and in absolutely excellent condition for a watch of this age. The watch comes from my personal collection and is always much admired. The watch was made for Hermes by Eterna, a famous Swiss watchmaker. The watch features a gleaming solid 14ct gold case, original crown, a clean, high grade hand-wound 17 jewel movement and a beautiful clean, crisp dial. The watch comes complete with a new leather strap and a quality presentation box.

My asking price is already fair for a watch that will only rise further in value - so only sensible best offers please. Such is the high quality of the watch, I will include a six month written guarantee on the movement, which is long enough for you to assess it. I also include a professional insurance valuation, in excess of my asking price. Also, I offer a full no quibble refund if you are not entirely happy with your purchase. Please feel free to contact me to arrange to view the watch in central London.

The solid 14ct gold case is in excellent gleaming condition, with no significant wear. The case measures 22.2mm wide, excluding the original crown x 39.3mm long, including the solid gold fixed bar lugs. The outside back of the case is signed with the '3081922' case reference number, while the inside case is signed 'Eterna Watch Co', 'Swiss' and carries Swiss hallmarks for solid 14ct gold.

The beautiful dial is in mint clean condition and is signed 'Hermes'. The original blued steel Breguet 'moon' hands are also in excellent condition, and the lens is very clear.

The hand-wound 17 jewel movement is in superb, clean condition and features gold jewel chatons. It is signed 'Eterna' and '3103970'. The movement has just been serviced by a master watchmaker and is in very good working order.

This beautiful watch is on a new leather strap and comes complete with a new presentation box for safekeeping and wrapping as the perfect gift.

A simply superb watch from one of history's most exclusive names. Will provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to enjoy.
