Croton Skeleton Watch - 18K Yellow Gold

Trade In
Details
A Clear View Of Classic Watchmaking
A skeleton dial strips a watch down to its mechanical essence, revealing the intricate world of gears and springs that power it. Doing so in a solid 18K yellow gold case elevates the concept from a novelty to a piece of true mechanical art. This Croton offers the visual appeal and old-world charm of high-horology skeleton watches from brands like Vacheron Constantin, but presents it in a package that is both accessible and wearable. It is a statement of taste that values the craft of watchmaking itself.
A Complete And Well Preserved Set
For a watch of this style, originality and completeness are key. This example stands out not just for its sharp condition, but for the fact that it comes as a full set with its original box and papers. It even retains its original leather strap and signed buckle. The case size is classic and refined, wearing comfortably and allowing the open-worked movement to be the main focus without appearing oversized.
Excellent And Clearly Cared For
This example is in excellent condition. The 18K yellow gold case shows very little evidence of wear, suggesting it was worn sparingly and stored carefully. The view of the movement from both the front and back is clean and unobstructed. The original leather strap is well-preserved. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Art Of The Mechanism
This watch is for someone who appreciates the mechanical side of horology and wants to see it on display. The solid gold case gives it the necessary weight and presence of a classic dress watch, while the skeleton dial provides a constant point of interest. Winding the manual movement each day is a core part of the experience, creating a direct connection between the owner and the intricate machine on their wrist. It's a classic execution of a timeless concept.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
