Scarce Elgin “Lucien Lelong 181” ladies’ wristwatch in 14K white gold fill with black enamel, circa 1929.

One of the scarcest and most avant garde of the Elgin enamel watches, the “Lucien Lelong 181” has a bezel that is half white gold fill and half black enamel. This is the first example I have seen with the matching enamdled clasp. It is in crisp, excellent condition with no brassing. Black enamel is superb and complete. Caseback is excellent, with a name engaving. The case measures 30mm long and 17mm wide. Dial is excellent. Has new glass crystal. This watch is powered by its correct 7-jewel Elgin grade 488 movement.

(SOLD)
