Corum 94.152.56 18k YG Quartz

How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

Founded in 1955, Corum are a watchmaker famed for their unique outlook on horological design, with collections such as the Coin and Bubble both standing as aesthetically unique and interesting. However, while Corum does create some off-the-wall timepieces, some of their collections can be beautifully restrained and classical, much like the ref. 94.152.56 that we have here. Featuring a round 18kt yellow gold case with a double-stepped bezel, incredibly ornate lugs and a beautifully simple silver dial with a subtle sunburst pattern and applied indices, this timepiece is a classic piece of 1970s horological design. Combining the rich patina that can be found throughout the surface of its 18kt yellow gold construction and its elegant design, this timepiece would make for a wonderful addition to any dress watch collection that needs a watch outside of what we typically see to be complete.
