Scarce Elgin “Parisienne Enamel” ladies’ Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill with black and white enamel, circa 1929.
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 model has an angular beveled bezel with elongated obtuse triangles inlaid with black and white enamel. It is in excellent condition with no brassing. Enamel is complete and superb. Caseback is excellent and has a monogram. The case measures 31mm long and 17mm wide. Period white gold filled metal bracelet is excellent. Dial has been beautifully restored to its correct original appearance with a silver Butler finish. Glass crystal is excellent. This watch is powered by its correct 15 jewel Elgin grade 484 movement.
