This rare Marvin wristwatch from the 1950s perfectly unites exceptional craftsmanship with individual design.
Its extraordinary dial immediately captures the eye: at the center shimmers a deep purple, enameled surface — a fascinating detail that shifts in tone from dark burgundy to mysterious violet depending on the light. It is framed by a cream-colored ring with finely applied Arabic numerals in rose gold – elegant, understated, yet unmistakably distinctive. The small running seconds at 6 o’clock complete the harmonious composition.
The rare rose gold case measures 35 mm and stands out with its architectural, stepped lugs – an exotic feature for its time that gives the watch an almost sculptural presence.
This Marvin is a rare example of the artistic freedom of the 1950s: a creation that embodies refinement, individuality, and subtle elegance – made for those who recognize beauty in the details.
