Surely ain't no Rolex but, has anyone seen one of these? It's a wind-up and says 'Swiss Made' on the wristband and watch itself.

Checking some auction archives today and found this little jewel

Special permission by Fisher Body was granted to Silver Creations, Ltd. to recreate the Royal Coach and thus mark its Golden Anniversary. With master silversmiths hammering out pieces of the Coach from the original plans, the long past age of coach building returns again. The total number of Royal Coaches was limited to 1,000 units, and were offered to General Motors Dealers at $2,000 per unit. Each anniversary Coach will be hallmarked and will bear the owner’s personal registration number, and certificate of design authenticity. DESCRIPTION FROM BROCHURE: Original plans, authenticated by Fisher Body, were used to capture the most minute details in this hand crafted commemorative model. Even the stairs fold away and are hidden from the view in a special compartment enclosed in the under-carriage. The doors open and close with precision. The headliner has been skillfully carved and textured. Even the tufted seats have been produced in precious metal. The wheels roll and pivot, with the same precision as the full size Coach and bronze fittings are employed to insure the strength to the undercarriage. A touch of the body puts springs in motion. From every angle the Fisher Body Coach shows elegance. A platinum coating has been carefully sprayed inside and out to protect its lasting beauty. You would think that by magic the Royal Coach has shrunk to miniature size. This 1973 Limited Edition Fisher Body Coach was created of sterling silver, gold and platinum by some of the most crafted master silversmiths of Silver Creations, Ltd. "Sited from DFW Elite Toy Museum Website" Weighs approx. 102 Troy Ounces

BTW, it brought $4,800.00 at auction

I remember seeing one of those on the desk of the sales manager at the local dealership.

I need to take a picture and post. In 1964 the parts manager at my local Chevy dealership gave me a charm of a '64 coupe.
