Item Details
Description
18 K yellow Gold Geneve Universal wrist watch $10 Lady Liberty 1894 Gold coin Eagle back manual wind. This is a wonderful wrist watch with enclosed watch which replicates an 1894 Liberty $10 gold coin. The top, heads side of the coin, is hinged and when opened, it allows you to see the dial of the watch. The watch itself is also hinged to allow you to lift it and wind it. The back side of the watch replicates the tail side of the coin which is a spread winged eagle like that of the president's seal. This is marked on the back of the watch dial with the gold Hallmark of a Helvetia head, gold purity mark 18 K 0.750 and hammer head mark 122. The 122 stands for the case maker being Oreade, manufacture de boiter SA, LaChaux-de-fonds. The strap is Hallmark at the clasp, 55 above 18 K followed by 0.750. I could not find a serial number and suspect it maybe possibly on the backs of the clock works themselves but I do not know how to open the back of this watch case. From research I have done online I suspect this watch to be made anyway between 1960 to 1980 but this is only by seeing a few examples and I am not certain as to win the watch was made.I have a wide margin estimate due to pricing I have seen for similar ones on the internet. Please see condition report for any imperfections.Total length of this band is 7 1/2" long and the diameter of the watch face is 1 5/8".Total weight is 1.94 troy ounces.


Please note: my opinion to condition may vary from yours and I do my best to note any issues. Please make sure to view all photos to make your own judgment to condition.


Please feel free to ask any questions you may have or request any particular photos.
All lots within this sale all start at $25 or under with approximately 98% at no reserves. I do not usually list smalls like these items because of the time to do so. I just happened to be the nice guy and went above and beyond to help a few locals with their estate items because they did not know where to go to move an entire estate of stuff. This sale is 98% easily shippable items with baseball cards, some toys, gold to sterling jewelry, sterling and silver plate flatware and other useful items, some nick knacks, primitive items and few tools. I am hoping that someone may have use for all these items which I have listed because it is a lot of work to put an auction together in this format. Plus, I believe I have listed most at great starting prices.
Please make sure to view all the other items and check back when the sale gets closer to going live because I am known to lower prices the last week of preview.

I have been told by liveauctioneers that in order to have my auction show up on the 1st pages of local auctions that the auction needs to have a lot of interest and or a lot of bids. Please help by sharing my auction with friends and family.
Thank you for viewing and hope to have you as a new member of the Courtney Auctions family. Sincerely, Thomas P. Courtney.

Condition
This watch is in working order and keeps accurate time however there are a couple things to note. The top cover latch is broken, so it will not stay closed. I had tried to pull the latch piece down and unfortunately the small piece broke off, but I DO have it, in which you can see on the small piece of paper in which I have pictured. I also believe this may have had a crystal over the dial hands at one time. Although I do not have the crystal, the original gold ring which would have held the crystal is present. The only other thing I can think to note, which is extremely minor, is that there are some fine scratches on the inside cover. Other than these things noted this comes with the average normal wear in which one would expect on a used watch.
