Details
A Literal Store Of Value For Your Wrist
During the 1980s, Corum built a reputation for avant-garde designs that challenged the definition of a watch. This piece is a prime example of that ethos. Instead of a traditional dial, the watchmakers integrated a 5-gram ingot of 999.9 pure gold, officially certified by the Union Bank of Switzerland. The concept was simple and audacious: to transform a recognized symbol of wealth into a wearable object. It is a direct and unapologetic expression of luxury, making the raw material the centerpiece of the design.
Certified Gold On An Original Strap
This example frames the certified gold ingot within a solid 18K yellow gold case, creating a seamless and rich presentation. The watch is fitted with its original brown alligator strap and signed Corum buckle, a detail that confirms its authenticity and period-correct configuration. The combination of the pure gold bar and the warm yellow gold case is a signature of 1980s decadent design, a period when fine watches were becoming statements of personal success.
A Well Preserved Piece Of History
This watch is in very good condition. The 18K yellow gold case has been well-maintained, and the 5-gram gold ingot dial is clean, with its UBS certification stamp clear and legible. The original alligator strap shows some signs of age but remains fully wearable. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Unconventional Collector
This is not a watch for someone who wants to blend in. It is a conversation starter and a piece of financial art from a distinct era of watchmaking. The appeal lies in its novelty and the directness of its design. It works for the collector who appreciates the more audacious and creative moments in Swiss watch history, offering a tangible piece of 1980s luxury that remains utterly unique today.
