Men's Stunning, MINT Solid 14k Yellow Gold Bulova Dress Watch w/Box

Description: STRICKLAND VINTAGE WATCHES Men's Stunning, MINT Solid 14k Yellow Gold Bulova Dress Watch w/Box, circa 1953 - SERVICED!In 1875, Joseph Bulova set off on the bold experiment of a wholesale jewelry business. It was not until the ‘20s, realizing the potential of the newly popularized “wristlet,” that he began to use his jewelry expertise to make wristwatches. His factories in Switzerland would go on to produce millions of movements for watches, then ship them to the states where each watch would be hand-assembled and tested. One can look at the early Bulova timepieces and see the clear influence of Joseph Bulova the jeweler and craftsman. How could ANYONE doubt the craftsmanship of Bulova after seeing such a stunning achievement? This watch is an extraordinarily rare and original solid 14k yellow gold example of one of Bulova's most stunning case designs. Embodying all things Mid-Century and marvelous, this timepiece boasts what appears to be an original shadow-black dial with applied Arabic numerals, bar markers and matching sub-seconds register. The case is, of course, an achievement. This model – with its oversized horseshoe lugs – is uncommon in gold fill; solid 14k is even more unusual. It's the only example we've seen and of course we had to have it. Measuring approx. 38mm mm long by 21mm wide, the case exudes a symmetry and wrist-stance that is simply mesmerizing. Of course Bulova would put nothing less than its ultra-high grade 21 ruby jewel movement with compensated balance and baton regulator in a case this exquisite. Marked "Bulova Watch Co. U.S.A." the beating heart of this classic wristwatch has been fully and professionally restored to keep excellent time. Almost as rare as the watch itself is its period case in burgundy leather with sunrise satin-and-velvet interior. Marked "Bulova/Fifth Avenue/New York," it is in fine original condition, complementing the timepiece nicely. Certainly a watch befitting our clients, this rare gold triumph will incite envy in all lucky enough to see it. Topping off the watch its equally rare N.O.S. period “tuxedo” strap, nicely accenting both watch and case. Our heartfelt admiration in advance to the buyer with fine enough taste to recognize the art in this piece!
