A gorgeous platinum example by Hamilton, known as the Rutledge. It sits beautifully on the wrist, with a subtly curved case that enhances its presence. The warm silver dial is endlessly elegant, featuring white gold Breguet numerals and matching hands.
I was able to locate an original advertisement in the Hamilton Chronicles, confirming both the design and its original pricing. At launch, this model was offered exclusively in platinum and retailed at roughly twice the price of comparable solid gold models—an indication of its positioning at the very top of the line. Powered by the manually wound cal. 982, featuring a gold medallion on the bridge. A compelling piece when considering materials, quality, and—most importantly—design.
Case & Bracelet:
The platinum case is in excellent condition, unpolished, with only light signs of wear. Fitted on a tan goatskin strap.
Dial & Hands:
The dial is in flawless condition, with no visible marks or scratches. The hands are equally well preserved. The seconds hand appears to be an early replacement.
Guarantee & Returns:
This watch has been serviced and is keeping excellent time. A 48-hour inspection period is provided; returns must be made with the watch in the same condition as received.
