Elgin “Dexter St.” 10 size Key Wind pocket watch

This exquisite yellow gold hunter model from 1881 represents a remarkable example of horological craftsmanship. Recently serviced, it is functioning exceptionally well. The timepiece features a grade “28” movement, identified by the serial number “Dexter St” #857224. It is equipped with a 7-jewel, 10-size movement. The dial is an original Elgin piece, preserved in excellent condition. Housed within a beautifully detailed hunter case with a coin edge, the case is made of solid gold. It bears a “Horse Head” mark, indicating it is a “Ladd” case, though it remains uncertain whether it is solid gold or gold-filled. This model operates on a keywind and keyset mechanism and has a diameter of 42mm, weighing 61.5 grams. The stunning yellow gold case is a rarity, as most similar models were crafted in silver. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a true gem. Should you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to reach out.
