An eye-catching and highly unusual Curtis “Gold Dollar” wristwatch from the 1970s, featuring a spectacular Liberty coin style dial inspired by the classic American gold dollar motif. This model perfectly reflects the playful, bold creativity of the era, combining numismatic design with Swiss mechanical watchmaking.
Coin-dial watches enjoyed brief but memorable popularity during the 1970s and are now increasingly collectible, especially examples with such strong visual execution. The Liberty head, stars, and textured background give this Curtis a distinctive presence that stands apart from conventional dress watches.
