Gubelin Dress Watch Stainless Steel W/ Silver "Sector" Dial, 1950s

Dealer description — Craft & Tailored

The legendary reputation of Gubelin dates all the way back to 1854 and continues today under the same family. The brand started in Lucerne, Switzerland, in a small watchmaker's shop before later entering the jewelry business as a formal atelier. The jewelry business grew rapidly throughout Switzerland, eventually going abroad to New York City and earning the brand a comparison to New York's own Tiffany & Co. Meanwhile, the Gubelin Atelier continued its watch side of the business, primarily retailing top Swiss brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet – often with cosigned dials bearing the Gubelin name.
