Very scarce Hamilton “Lord Lancaster F” men’s Retro Modern design wristwatch in solid 14K white gold with 24 diamonds, circa 1965.

Hamilton made some beautiful and elegant dress watches during the 1960s in its “Lord Lancaster“ series… described in sales catalogs as “… the ultimate in masculine elegance.” With 24 diamonds (6 at each corner of the case), the “Lord Lancaster F” certainly lives up to that statement. It has a thin solid gold case with a subtly stepped and florentined bezel. Due to the fluctuating nature of the fine diamond market, its price was never published in the Hamilton catalog. The price was available only on request, and likely beyond the reach of the average watch consumer. This is the first example of this scarce model I have offered for sale. It is in crisp, near mint condition showing almost no wear, just a few light marks. Caseback is superb and unengraved, with its original factory-brushed finish intact. The case measures 38mm long and 28mm wide. Original textured dial is superb. Has new acrylic crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 17-jewel Hamilton grade 687A movement.

(SOLD)
