Antique White Stone Cocktail Watch Appraisal

Vintage/Antique Diamond or White Stone Cocktail Watch

This is an antique or vintage ladies' cocktail watch, likely from the Art Deco or Retro period (1920s-1950s), given its style and rectangular watch face. The watch features a small, rectangular or cushion-shaped dial with a silver-tone or white-gold-tone case. The watch crystal appears to be intact, and the dial has simple hour markers, possibly dots or small lines, with a brand name visible near the 12 o'clock position, although it is not clearly legible. The hands are delicate and appear to be in good condition. The most striking features are the decorative elements on the watch band and lugs. The top and bottom lugs attaching the watch head to the band are ornately designed, possibly featuring small diamonds or diamond simulants set in a milgrain or pavé style. Above the watch head, there is a prominent decorative link, possibly in the shape of stylized leaves or a floral motif, also adorned with small stones. A similar, though less prominent, decorative link is visible below the watch head, just before the main bracelet begins. The bracelet itself is a flexible, possibly extendable, band composed of numerous small, rectangular links. The material appears to be a white metal, likely platinum, white gold, or sterling silver, given its coloration and the presence of stones. There is some visible discoloration or tarnish on parts of the metal band, indicating age and use, and possibly suggesting it is sterling silver or white gold without a rhodium plating. There are no obvious signs of major damage or repairs, though a detailed inspection would be needed to assess the integrity of all settings and the watch's functionality. The overall craftsmanship suggests a piece of quality jewelry from its era.
