Hamilton Swiss Watch Limited Edition #1636 18k Gold Electroplated Vintage Rare
Presented is an authentic Hamilton Wilshire Limited Edition re-creation, produced by Hamilton Watch Co. As a faithful homage to one of its most iconic Art Deco rectangular wristwatches. Originally introduced during Hamilton's golden era of design, the Wilshire is celebrated for its balanced proportions, stepped rectangular case, and classic subsidiary seconds display. This official Hamilton re-issue captures the elegance of the original while utilizing a Swiss quartz movement for modern reliability. Model: Hamilton Wilshire (Limited Edition Re-Creation).
Movement: Swiss Quartz (new battery installed; running properly). Case: Rectangular, 18K Gold Electroplated (clearly marked). Dial: Rose / salmon tone with applied Arabic numerals. Sub-Dial: Small seconds at 6 o'clock.
Strap: Original Hamilton leather strap (vintage condition). Limited Edition: One of 2,500 pieces worldwide. Caseback: Engraved Limited Edition No.
Presentation: Original Hamilton wood presentation box with interior ribbon. Hamilton did not always match certificate numbers to caseback numbers on these limited re-issues. This is a known and accepted factory practice and does not affect authenticity or collectibility. Both the watch and certificate are genuine Hamilton-issued items. Watch is functioning properly and keeping time.
Dial is clean with strong printing and original finish. Case shows light, honest wear consistent with age and careful use.
Gold electroplating remains attractive with expected patina. Strap shows wear but remains structurally sound. Box and papers included (a significant value add for collectors). Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
