Circa 1948-1953.
It's not often that you come across diamond-set dial Hamiltons these days let alone an ultra rare white version of this vintage Hamilton Glenn in a 14K white gold case with 11 diamonds set on a refinished sterling silver dial. This extravagant timepiece was the more expensive variation of the Glenn compared to the applied gold numeral dial model and had an original price tag of $350 back in the early 1950s which would be roughly equivalent to $4,323.60 today. Measuring at approximately 26mm wide (excluding the crown) x 37mm from lug end to lug end, the case is in beautiful condition with no wear on the bezel high points or ribbed lugs. There are no personalized engravings on the outer back case and overall very light scratches are seen only when viewed under magnification. Signed Hamilton on the dial, movement, and case, this watch sets and winds smoothly powered by a grade 747 manual hand winding movement with 17 jewels that has been serviced and kept good time over a 24 hour period. The inside back case reads: GLENN, Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA., 14K Gold, S239414, S&W.
