Scarce Hamilton “Piping Rock” men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in solid 14K yellow gold with black enamel bezel, circa 1948.
Among the most recognizable and sought-after of all Hamilton wristwatch models, the “Piping Rock” was originally introduced in 1928. Hamilton revived and updated the design in the late 1940s and early 1950s, priced to consumers at $200.00. Production quantities on this later version are unknown, but empirical evidence suggests that it is somewhat rarer than the earlier 1928 version. This example is in excellent condition showing only very slight wear. Black enamel bezel is perfect and superb with no chips or scratches.Caseback is excellent and unengraved. Case measures 42mm long and 28mm wide. Dial has been restored to its correct original appearance with a silver Butler finish. Has new glass crystal.The watch is powered by its correct 17 jewel Hamilton grade 747 adjusted movement.
