Baume And Mercier Appraisal

Baume & Mercier Ladies' Gold Tone Mesh Bracelet Watch

This is a vintage Baume & Mercier ladies' wristwatch, likely dating from the mid to late 20th century. The watch features a round gold-toned case with a polished finish, which appears to be either solid gold or gold-plated. The dial is a light, possibly silver or champagne, color with applied, slender gold-toned hour markers. The hands are also gold-toned and appear to be straight baton style. The crystal is clear but shows some surface wear consistent with age, and based on the context, it is described as beveled glass, which adds a subtle refractive quality. The most striking feature of this watch is its integrated gold-toned mesh bracelet. The bracelet has a fine, tightly woven texture on the outer sections and a distinct central stripe with a slightly different, more linear texture, giving it a sophisticated and elegant appearance. The overall condition of the watch appears to be good for its age, with a visible patina on the metal and minor surface scratches on the crystal and case. There are no obvious signs of significant damage or repair. The Baume & Mercier logo is clearly visible on the dial below the 12 o'clock position, indicating its origin from a reputable Swiss watchmaker known for producing luxury timepieces. The craftsmanship of the mesh bracelet and the delicate details of the dial suggest a high-quality piece.
