Scarce Elgin “Lanvin Parisienne” ladies’ Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill with black enamel, circa 1928.
In the 1920s, no other watch manufacturer could match Elgin’s Art Deco designs for ladies’ wristwatches. Elgin retained top designers of international prominence to create some fantastic designs. This “Lanvin Parisienne” has triangular bowtie designs in black enamel and stylized Art Deco designs along the case edges. It was priced to consumers at $35.00 in 1928. This example is in excellent condition with no brassing. Enamel is excellent and complete, with only some light flakes and marks. Caseback is superb and unengraved. The case measures 30mm long and 17mm wide. Original dial is excellent. Glass crystal is excellent. This watch is powered by a 7 jewel Elgin grade 488 movement.
