Gübelin’s legacy dates back to 1854, beginning as a watchmaker’s workshop in Lucerne, Switzerland, founded by Jakob Breitschmid. The business took a new direction in 1886 when Eduard Jakob Gübelin, Breitschmid’s apprentice and later his son-in-law, assumed control and renamed it the House of Gübelin. Over time, the company expanded beyond watchmaking into fine jewelry and, in 1923, established a gemological laboratory, earning a reputation for excellence in both horology and gemstones.

This particular dress piece on offer is circa 1950s, featuring a square shaped case in 18k pink gold. It boasts a unique scalloped pattern on its outer edge and the "ice cube" style crystal it houses screams mind century design. Notably, the dial also features geometric style markers for its logo and indices. For anyone looking for the charm of a "true vintage" dress watch at a good value in today's market, this Gübelin has excellent build quality and is perfect for the collector who enjoys venturing off the beaten path.
