Why We Love It

Solid Gold Tank style watches are elegant. 

But they can also be so much more. This solid 18k gold dress piece by A.L. Emeraude circa the 1920s features a Francois Borgel case with dignified hand engravings. The dial is deeply patinated, showing all of its years of wear and love, further punctuated by blued steel hands. Further suggesting its history, the gold caseback is engraved "Paul W. Matthews April 9th 1926 From Mother". 

Whether worn with a suit, a sweater, or a t-shirt on the weekend, this is distinctive watch for a collector with distinctive taste.
