Vintage Ladies Gruen Precision 17j Watch 10K GF Kreisler Expansion Band Cal 278

Stunning, authentic mid-century ladies cocktail wristwatch from the legendary Gruen Watch Co.  This watch is manual wound and fully operational. I have wound and tested for accuracy myself.   Dating from the 1950s, this exquisite timepiece features a highly sought-after elongated marquise or navette (almond-shaped) case profile. It beautifully captures the graceful, jewelry-first design philosophy of post-war luxury and classic Hollywood style.   Premium Vintage Kreisler USA Band Details:   Manufacturer: Jacques Kreisler Co.
