Very rare Elgin “Captain Molyneux” ladies’ Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill with black enamel, circa 1932.
One of the rarest and most desirable Elgin enamel watches, the “Captain Molyneux” has an asymmetrical sunray design inlaid with black enamel and a unique offset triangular dial. I have only seen a handful of this model and it is very difficult to find. This example is in excellent condition with just a tiny speck of brassing in each bezel corner. Black is superb and complete. Caseback is excellent and unengraved, with one tiny speck of wear in each corner. The case measures 30mm long and 17mm wide. Dial is good. Glass crystal is excellent. This watch is powered by its correct 15 jewel Elgin grade 484 movement.
