Vintage Gruen Autowind 'The Precision Watch' with Original Box and Papers

This is a mid-20th century (circa 1950s) vintage Gruen Autowind wristwatch, presenting as a highly desirable 'full set' with its original presentation box and guarantee paperwork. The watch features a classic round yellow gold-toned case, likely 10k or 14k gold-filled, with distinctively styled lugs. The dial is a cream or champagne color, featuring a combination of applied gold-tone dart indices and Arabic numerals. It includes a sub-seconds dial at the six o'clock position and elegant gold-toned sword-style hands. The dial is marked 'GRUEN PRECISION' and 'AUTOWIND'. The watch is mounted on a black leather strap which shows some curvature from previous use but appears intact. The presentation box is a hinged blue textured case with a vibrant red velvet or satin lining, featuring a Greek key pattern border and the 'Gruen Autowind' branding prominently displayed on the interior lid. A red guarantee and instruction booklet is tucked behind the watch. Physically, the piece shows light honest wear consistent with age, including minor surface scratches on the case and acrylic crystal. The presence of the original matching box and documentation significantly enhances its collectible value, indicating well-preserved provenance and careful ownership over the decades.
