Paul Breguette Vintage Gold-Tone Tank Watch with Integrated Mesh Bracelet

This is a vintage Paul Breguette dress watch, likely originating from the 1980s or early 1990s. The timepiece features a classic rectangular 'tank' style case finished in a yellow gold-tone. The dial is champagne-colored with a subtle textured pattern and features the Paul Breguette 'B' logo at 12 o'clock, with simple bar markers or indices and small clear stones (likely crystals or small diamonds) at the 3, 6, and 9 positions. It is a quartz movement watch, as indicated by the 'QUARTZ' text on the lower portion of the dial. The most distinguishing feature is the integrated mesh-style bracelet, which is constructed from fine woven metal to create a supple, fabric-like texture that tapers slightly toward the clasp. The construction shows high-quality vintage costume or boutique jewelry standards, with a fold-over ladder clasp for adjustable sizing. The item appears to be in excellent condition, showing very little visible wear or tarnishing, and rests within its original branded presentation box marked 'PAUL BREGUETTE' on the inner lid. This indicates it was likely well-preserved as a gift or heirloom piece. The craftsmanship is typical of high-end department store horology from the late 20th century, emphasizing elegance and slim profiles. There are no obvious scratches on the mineral crystal, and the gold plating maintains a high luster across both the case and the complex weave of the strap.
