Elgin “Louise Boulanger” ladies’ Art Deco design wristwatch in 14K white gold fill with blue enamel bezel, circa 1928.

In the 1920s, no other watch manufacturer could match Elgin’s Art Deco designs for ladies’ wristwatches. Elgin retained top designers of international prominence to create some fantastic designs. This “Louise Boulanger” has triangular cobalt blue enamel inserts on the bezel and stylized Art Deco designs along the case edges. Of the 3 versions of the “Boulanger” this version with the cobalt blue enamel is the scarcest. It was priced at $35.00 in 1928. This example is in crisp, excellent condition with no brassing to the bezel corners. Enamel is superb and complete. Caseback is superb, with a monogram. The case measures 30mm long and 17mm wide. Original dial is excellent. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 7 jewel Elgin grade 488 movement.
