Corum - Corum Admiral’s Cup, circa. 1960 A 18k yellow gold automatic wristwatch Case: two-body, snap solid case back, signed Dial: champagne with balck Arabic numerals, signed. Movement: automatic, signed Buckle/Clasp: gold-plated buckle, signed Dimensions: 30 x 30 mm Weight: 51 g Provenance: Swiss owner Introduced by Corum in 1960, the Admiral’s Cup model occupies a distinctive place in the history of post-war Swiss watch design. The earliest models, unlike the later dodecagonal versions with nautical pennants, were conceived as elegant waterproof watches with a pronounced maritime identity, often bearing a hand-engraved sailboat on the case back. The present example belongs to this early phase of the model’s development and illustrates Corum’s flair for combining refined styling with an imaginative nautical theme, a combination that would later make the Admiral’s Cup one of the brand’s most enduring signatures. *Bei diesem Los werden 8,1% MWST auch auf den Zuschlagspreis erhoben.
