Eberhard
1950s Eberhard Oversized Automatic 18K RG (Ref. 11601 642) "Cal. 11500"
The Eberhard & Co. brand is firmly rooted in Swiss watchmaking history and was once the largest Swiss watch manufacturer in the early 1900s. The founder George-Emile Eberhard founded the company at the young age of 22 years old in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Though Eberhard & Co. greatly influenced the rise of the Swiss watchmaking history, the brand is most well-known for its post-war wristwatches, such as the elegant Extra-Fort chronograph and the Scafograph diving sports watch.

CASE & BRACELET
The noble 36mm 18K rose gold case is in lovely condition overall, showing minimal signs of previous polishing and light signs of use expected for the age of the watch. The unsigned crown appears to be original to the watch. The case back retains all of the original factory markings in deep and crisp condition. The watch comes supplied on a 2pc leather strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The original silver dial features vertical ridges that span the length of the dial, also known as a tapestry dial, and is in exceptional vintage condition. Only minor elements of age are present on the otherwise bright dial. The rose gold makers exhibit light age and remain very presentable. The original rose gold dauphine hands display light oxidation which is expected and are in excellent condition.
