I have listed a truly Rare and Amazing size (8) 1885 Waltham Pocket Watch that I have owned for quite a while, forgot how many years. The watch is 10K Solid Gold and Marked on all three case covers, and case and covers have all been tested as 10K SolidAlso the Watch has a very Ornate 14k Solid Gold Dial, tested and guranteed solid gold as is all the parts stated as solid gold, with Raised Designs in the Center and surrounding the Numbers.The Bow, Bezel and Balance wheel are also Solid Gold. It is quite rare to have the Balance Wheel Solid Gold and Dial. I will try copy and paste this information for your from the Waltham Website. Please overlook my pictures I am not the greatest in my photography skills and I do use a light box which is the reason you will always see a white background.

1885 Waltham 8 Size Key Wind and Key set Pocket watch with 7 jewel Gilted movement (129 years old) and in super nice condition
Movement sets, winds and runs strong, but I have not ever tested it for timing accuracy so please keep this in mind when offerding (a winding key will be provided)
The 10K Solid Gold Case is in Remarkable Condition with Highly Detail Hand Engraved Designs on the front, back, and edges, and showing very little wear
Watch has a high luster Gold Shine which enhances all the Ornate Gold Designs
Case Covers close tightly, completely with no gaps and do not go past 90 degrees when fully opened
There is a small ding in the inside front cover and two small dings in the inside back cover, one is in the center of the inside back cover was caused by the winding key which I cannot figure how this happened. But none of these are visible from the outside and do not affect at all the beauty of the watch
The 14k Solid Gold Dial has Ornate & High Detailed Raised Designs in the center and surrounding the numbers, dial weighs approximately 3.8 grams and has been tested as 14k (This is also Rare to have the Dial Sold Gold)
Only 400 of this run were made (very low and rare) and total production for the movement was 17,090 again very low production with not many remaining
I believe the watch to be all original
Has a very nice Glass crystal
Roman numeral numbers
Total weight of case and movement are 56.4 grams
No initials or inscriptions

This would be a Great addition to your collection, this is a Rare Watch, a work of Art, and highly functional time piece. Please email with questions prior to offerding and thank you for looking.
