    Description

    Elgin Rare Lord Elgin 23 Jewel Gold 16 Size Grade 351, circa 1907
    Case: 14k gold, four body, plain, invisible hinges to the bezel and back, 16 size, 51 mm

    Note: Experts believe that fewer than 500 model 351 Lord Elgin movements were produced. When it was introduced in 1905/06 the movement alone (no case) was selling for as high as $255. This amount was equal to the asking price for a Waltham Premier Maximus with case. The watch presented here is one of the hardest American made prestige models to find.
