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.
The watch is in very good vintage condition. The gold-plated case shows light, honest wear consistent with age, with the decorative coin-edge bezel remaining sharp and visually striking.
The Liberty coin dial is exceptionally attractive, with strong relief details and pleasing patina that enhances its vintage character. The acrylic crystal is clear and well preserved.
Powered by the Peseux 7040, a slim and reliable Swiss hand-wound movement widely used in quality dress watches of the period. Its compact construction allows for the elegant proportions and comfortable wearability of this model.
