Scarce Elgin “Model 885” ladies’ Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill with diamonds and sapphires, and blue and black enamel, circa 1931.

This model has panels of blue and black enamel, along with two diamonds and four synthetic blue sapphires. It was priced at $70.00 in 1929. This is only the second example I have offered of this scarce model. It is in excellent condition with only very light brassing to the bezel corners. Caseback is excellent and unengraved, with a few tiny dings. The case measures 30mm long and 17mm wide. Aged dial is very good. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 15-jewel Elgin grade 484 movement. Has new blue grosgrain ribbon and vintage clasp.

(SOLD)
