An exceptional work of horological art produced by one of the world’s most remarkable watch houses, this Elgin National Watch Company “50 Million” created to commemorate the 50 Millionth watch is a masterpiece! Few were produced; most have been lost to history. This example, crisp with its original presentation card is one of the most pristine in existence. Features solid 18k buckle and mahogany presentation box. Circa 1951
