An intensely satisfying tactile embodiment of the Deco Movement, this extraordinary two-tone yellow and white gold-filled Illinois wristwatch features a fancy enameled bezel; magnificent, completely original two-tone platinum-over-silver dial and “stained-glass” hands with matching sub-seconds register. Fitted with a new-old stock vintage chocolate crocodile strap and offered in a custom-fitted period presentation case. Circa 1929
