Collectible Pocket Watch Appraisal

Milan Gold-Tone Quartz Full Hunter Pocket Watch with Chain

This item is a gold-tone full hunter pocket watch with a matching chain. The watch features a polished gold-tone outer casing that, when opened, reveals a textured, possibly engine-turned or waffle pattern, on the inside of the cover. The watch face is cream or light silver-colored with black hour markers, including an Arabic numeral '12' at the top and dashes for the other hours, along with a rectangular date window at the '6' o'clock position. The hands are black, simple baton style. The dial is marked 'MILAN' in the upper half and 'QUARTZ' below the center, indicating a battery-powered movement. The watch has a prominent winder/crown on the right side of the case, which also serves as the attachment point for the chain. The chain is silver-tone, suggesting a contrast in material or plating from the watch case. It is a fancy link chain, not a simple curb or cable chain, and includes a spring-ring clasp for attachment to the watch and a rectangular, flat clasp on the other end, possibly for securing to a garment or belt loop. The overall condition appears to be very good with no apparent scratches, dents, or discolored areas visible on the gold-tone casing or the watch face. The chain also looks to be in excellent condition. The gold plating or finish is uniform and shiny, suggesting careful handling or recent acquisition. Given the 'QUARTZ' marking, it is a modern timepiece, likely from the late 20th century or early 21st century. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for a fashion or casual pocket watch.
