Description

Within the masterfully crafted case, made out of two original antique US 20 dollar coins (22K gold), sits the 18K gold Gubelin flip-out case. The watch is powered by a high grade thin Gubelin signed movement adorned with large red rubies and elegant bridges.

The coin watch remains in a well preserved used condition. The coin shows some tiny scratches, yet remaining its detailed presentation on both the front, back and its ribbed coin edge (see macro shots).
Champagne dial with Roman hour markers and blued steel baton hands.

The expertly concealed secret lever has been crafted to remain almost invisible to the naked eye (see picture 12). Pressing the lever effortlessly releases the front lid, causing it to jump open.

The movement runs good and keeps time well within the standards of vintage ultra thin movements (20sec + every 24 hours).
