Corum's Rolls Royce wristwatches combine novelty and luxury, featuring the famous car grill complete with 'Spirit of Ecstasy' ornament. The first release of these distinctive timepieces was in the mid-1970s. This initial group of around 250, of which this example is one, featured manual wind movements housed in either white or yellow gold cases and were retailed by high end Jewellers Garrard. 1990 saw a second release of the design, with some examples powered by a quartz movement. This example comes complete with signed strap and buckle, along with box and papers.
