Very scarce Hamilton “Bentley” men’s Streamline Moderne design wristwatch in solid 14K yellow gold, circa 1938.

The “Bentley” has an unusual curved and stepped case with large wrap-around tubular lugs. Its rarity and striking case design make it one of the most desirable of the solid gold grade 982 models offered by Hamilton. It was priced at $100.00 in 1938. This example is in excellent condition showing only light wear. Curved caseback is excellent, with a very modern-style presentation engraving, and one small ding. The case measures 40mm long and 25mm wide. Original dial is good, has solid 18K gold applied numerals. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 19 jewel Hamilton grade 982 movement. Dial can be perfectly refinished for modest additional cost.

(SOLD)
