Favre-Leuba Ellipse for King Hussein

A very unique NOS Favre-Leuba made for the king Hussein of Jordan in the 1980s

The watch was sourced from a lot of new old stock pieces from a collector’s estate in Switzerland.

Excellent condition, never worn, but can still have some minor defects due to storage and handling through the years.

Gold plated ellipse/cushion case.

Black dial (the dust visible on the pictures is not on the dial) 

Applied gold crown of Hussein

Gold dauphine hands

Crown with black cabochon

Case back with original protective layer

Original signed black leather strap with signed gold buckle

The case measures 25mm without crown, 28mm lug to lug, 7mm thick with a 15mm lug width.

It is powered by a manual wind caliber ETA 2512 also used by the contemporary Cartier watches. It runs and keeps time. It has never been serviced.
