A truly exceptional opportunity for the serious collector. This Elgin “B.W. Raymond” Model 571 Railroad Pocket Watch—complete with its original box—stands as one of the finest surviving examples of mid‑century American railroad‑grade craftsmanship. Housed in a brilliant yellow gold‑filled case that shows virtually no signs of wear, this watch presents exactly the way collectors hope to find them but almost never do. The pristine dial, untouched and retaining its original hands, pairs beautifully with a movement that is remarkably clean, free of tarnish, rust, or evidence of past service. In fact, the absence of watchmaker’s marks suggests this piece has remained undisturbed since it left the factory—an increasingly rare trait that elevates its desirability even further.
Produced around 1950, the Model 571 represents the pinnacle of Elgin’s railroad‑approved engineering. This example winds with silky smoothness and keeps accurate time, a testament to both its quality and its minimal use over the decades. Survivors in this condition are seldom encountered. For collectors seeking a museum‑worthy B.W. Raymond, or anyone wanting a standout piece of American horological history, this watch delivers exceptional originality, beauty, and mechanical integrity. Please review the photos for additional details, and feel free to reach out with any questions.
