Circa 1948-1954.
This later version of the Hamilton Piping Rock in a 14K solid natural gold case features an exquisitely detailed black enamel bezel and gold Roman numeral. Although remarkably similar to the earlier Piping Rock, a few key differences include a minimalistic dial, blued steel Pointex style hands, and a recessed movement housing where access to the movement is through the front of the watch as opposed to the back case. The watch measures 28mm wide (excluding the crown) x 43mm in length from lug to lug. Beneath the dial is an adjusted Hamilton grade 747 manual hand winding movement with 17 jewels that has been serviced and kept good time over a 24 hour period. The inside case reads: Piping Rock, Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA, 14K Gold, S161235, S&W. This wristwatch sets and winds smoothly and is ready to serve as your timekeeper for years to come!
