Description
Art Deco 18K Gold Platinum Diamond Wristwach from an estate and all original condition but not working. This is a gorgeous, extra fancy, Art Deco 1930 ladies wristwatch in solid 18K yellow gold with a hand applied platinum top, diamond, and sapphire gemstone accents. The watch case is marked and Guaranteed to be solid 18K yellow gold. It has that deep, rich gold color that you only see on higher grade gold. The sides have a deep fancy Art Nouveau scroll pattern worked above a tiny engraved millgrain border. The watch top is platinum with deep fancy Art Deco geometric work and larger fancy matching millgrain work throughout. All of the stones are bezel set and original. The platinum sides and lugs are also large Art Deco geometric shapes with bezel set accent stones and intricately engraved edges and more fancy millgrain work throughout. It also has its original black braided cloth and platinum plated wrist band and a double locking clasp (one inside the other, 1920s type). Size is 7 inches long end to end by 1/2 inch wide across the watch centerpiece without the stem. Thickness or depth of the watch is 3/16 inch so it won’t protrude a lot off the wrist. If you have a small or small/medium wrist size it can be kept in original condition as it will fit you the way it is. For larger wrist sizes the band would need to be changed to either another cloth band, stretch band, or chain link band. Total carat gemstone weight is approximately .16 carat. Weight is 14 grams including the cloth band which is very light and only weighs a few grams. The was separately held on a jeweler scale in order to estimate the cloth/clasp weight. For anyone who can fix the works this is a stunning solid 18K gold diamond and sapphire Art Deco wristwatch with a very early ornate Art Deco case and bracelet in original, excellent condition.
