This is a rare men's wristwatch manufactured by the International Watch Company in the late 1930s for the jewelry firm "S. Kind & Sons" in Philadelphia, USA. In this era, International employed a tonneau-shaped case made of pink gold, a material seldom seen in International watches of that time. The case, known for its dustproof specification (indicated by the engraving of the last three digits of the case-specific number), was produced by Cresarrow, a company also recognized by Tiffany. This unique timepiece features a pink dial with an engine-turned rail track and applied raised indexes. It is equipped with Cal.87, which underwent adjustments in three positions, and the stone count is engraved—a craftsmanship not commonly observed in regular models. This is a precious item with a distinctive construction, referred to as "pink on pink," showcasing a splendid color combination within the pink gold case.
