An exceptional opportunity for the discerning collector. This Elgin “B.W. Raymond” Model 571 Railroad Pocket Watch, featuring a robust 21‑jewel movement, is paired with a period‑correct original Elgin box that beautifully complements the watch. While the box is authentic Elgin manufacture, it is not guaranteed to be the exact one originally issued with this timepiece—yet it enhances the presentation and display value tremendously. The watch itself is a standout example of mid‑century railroad‑grade engineering. The yellow gold‑filled case remains in remarkable condition, showing virtually no wear or signs of regular use. Its crisp, sharp dial, complete with original hands, is clean and bright, offering the kind of visual appeal collectors rarely encounter today.
Inside, the Model 571 movement is exceptionally clean—free of tarnish, rust, or any evidence of past servicing. The absence of watchmaker’s marks strongly suggests this movement has remained untouched since its production around 1954, making it an increasingly rare find for collectors who value originality and preservation. The watch winds smoothly, sets properly, and keeps accurate time, reflecting both Elgin’s craftsmanship and the watch’s minimal use over the decades. Examples in this level of condition are seldom seen, especially with such a well‑preserved case and dial.
Whether you’re seeking a premium railroad‑grade pocket watch, a historically significant Elgin for your collection, or a beautifully preserved timepiece with strong display presence, this B.W. Raymond Model 571 offers rarity, authenticity, and exceptional condition in one compelling package. Please review the photos for additional details, and feel free to reach out with any questions.
