This rare sterling silver timepiece from the Alpina watch factory has that classic high Art Deco look. These watches from the companies Union Horlogère days are very hard to come by especially with the triangle circle logo on the dial. The silver case has beautiful sculpted lugs and has not been polished to maintain its vintage feel. We also left the original brown stitched leather band as it compliments the watch perfectly. A new leather band will also be included in the sale. One of those character timepieces that carries with it a great sense of history and enduring style.
