Alpina was among the relatively few Swiss houses of the era producing automatic movements in-house, which makes the President a genuinely interesting proposition for collectors looking beyond the usual names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 35mm case is solid 18K yellow gold, confirmed by the 0.750 hallmark and Swiss Helvetia head stamp on the inner case back, alongside the Alpina Watch Co. maker's mark. At 43mm lug to lug it wears like a proper mid-century gentleman's watch — substantial without excess. The silvered dial is a quiet showcase of 1950s dial work: faceted, fan-cut applied gold markers, an Arabic 12, gold dauphine hands, and a framed date window at 3 o'clock. The triangle logo above the Alpina President signature ties it back to the brand's earliest emblem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eInside is the Caliber 584C, Alpina's in-house bumper automatic with 17 jewels, the C designating the calendar function. Rather than a full rotor, a pivoting weight swings between two buffer springs to wind the mainspring — the characteristic gentle knock of a bumper is part of the charm. The copper-finished movement is signed Alpina and carries its patent marking. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e✓ Professional inspection by our watchmaker\u003cbr\u003e✓ One-year warranty\u003cbr\u003e✓ Express shipping included\u003cbr\u003e✓ Carefully packed and ready to wear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCASE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e18K solid yellow gold case, hallmarked 0.750 with Swiss Helvetia head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCase diameter: 35mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eLug to lug: 43mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThickness: 12mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFluted gold crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCase number 130801\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSilvered dial with faceted, fan-cut applied gold markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eArabic numeral at 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFramed date aperture at 3 o'clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGold dauphine hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAlpina triangle logo, \"Alpina President\" and \"Automatic\" signatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMOVEMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAlpina in-house Caliber 584C, bumper automatic, 17 jewels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eCopper-finished plates, signed Alpina, Swiss patent marking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSwiss made\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DuMarko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50151075741948,"sku":null,"price":2900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2266\/1116\/files\/5H9A7636.jpg?v=1784203582","url":"https:\/\/dumarko.com\/fr\/products\/vintage-alpina-president-swiss-watch-domed-dial-bumper-automatic-cal-584c-18k-solid-gold-from-1950s","provider":"DuMarko","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
