Favre-Leuba Ellipse for King Hussein of Jordan - 1980s

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 case with stepped bezel

Black 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 23mm without crown, 33mm lug to lug, 6mm thick with a 12mm 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.
