Scarce Hamilton “Piping Rock” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in solid 14K white gold with black enamel bezel, circa 1928.
Among the most recognizable and sought-after of the early Hamilton models, the “Piping Rock” has fantastic Art Deco stylized Roman numerals set in black enamel and hinged lugs. It sold for $125.00 in 1928. With only 5,986 examples produced in white gold, it is a fairly scarce watch today. This example is the finest I have offered in many years. It is in crisp, excellent condition showing only the very slightest indications of wear to the gold case. Hinges are nice and tight. Black enamel is superb and perfect. Caseback is superb and unengraved. Case measures 43mm long and 29mm wide. Dial has been restored to its correct original appearance with a silver Butler finish. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 19 jewel Hamilton grade 979 adjusted movement.
