Circa 1937-1939.
A rarely seen model, this visually stunning timepiece called the Hamilton Bentley was produced for only 2 years and only came in a 14K natural solid gold case.

Powering this watch is a grade 982 manual hand wind movement with 19 jewels that has been serviced and kept good time over a 24 hour period. The crown winds and sets smoothly and included is a new glass crystal. The inside of the S&W case reads: Hamilton W. Co., 14K, Lancaster PA., 176785.
