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. Belonging to the Coin collection, the watch that we have here is the Mexican States Mexico City edition Coin Watch ref. 04.0033. Launched in 2020 as a limited edition series of 32 only pieces, one for each of the Mexican States and Mexico City, the ref. 04.0033 is a 43mm 18kt yellow gold timepiece with a coin-edge bezel, straight lugs, an engraved caseback with the outline of Mexico, and “Pieza Única” for piece unique. In addition, the Mexican symbol of the open-winged eagle perched on a cactus eating a snake is represented on the golden dial atop a subtle grainy texture that results in this monochromatic timepiece celebrating Mexico to the fullest.

THE DIAL
Boasting a golden dial with a subtle grained texture as the base for the Mexican symbol of the open-winged eagle perched on a cactus eating a snake, this timepiece's display is both unique and finely executed.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Offered as part of the Coin collection, the coin edge bezel on this timepiece's 43mm 18kt yellow gold construction should be no surprise.
TIMING MACHINE READOUT
This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.
Condition
Watch is in overall excellent condition. The yellow gold coin case has some light scratches on the lugs, with fully legible hallmarks on the rear of the lugs. The beaded-edge 'bezel' is very well defined. The case back has some light scratches, but the engravings are all crisp. The coin edge case sides and diamond-topped winding crown are in excellent condition. The face of the watch is near-mint, with very clean black hands. The sapphire crystal has crisp and intact black text. The watch is fitted with a black alligator strap with yellow gold Corum pin buckle in excellent condition.
Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.
Our Perspective
Celebrating each of Mexico's states and its capital, this limited edition of just 32 pieces combines Corum's Coin collection with some national pride, resulting in a finely executed and very unique design.
