Women's Gold-Tone Dress Watch with Embellished Bezel and Engraved Bracelet

This item is a women's dress watch, likely from the mid to late 20th century, characterized by its elegant gold-tone finish and decorative elements. The watch features a circular dial, predominantly light in color (possibly white or champagne), with what appears to be simple hour markers and two hands (hour and minute). The most striking feature of the watch head is the bezel, which is heavily embellished with a single row of small, round, sparkling stones, likely rhinestones or small diamonds, giving it a halo effect. The watch case and integrated band are constructed from a gold-toned metal, possibly gold-plated or gold-filled base metal. The bracelet is a mesh or woven style, narrowing from the watch head, and features a distinctive engraved or embossed pattern. This pattern consists of stylized, elongated leaf or feather motifs that repeat along the length of the band, lending a touch of botanical artistry. The overall condition appears to be fair to good, with some visible wear consistent with age and use, such as minor scratches on the metal surface and possible dulling of the gold tone in areas. There are no obvious signs of major damage or repairs from the provided image. The craftsmanship suggests a commercially produced piece, designed for aesthetic appeal rather than high-end horological precision, positioning it as a fashion accessory of its era. The watch likely has a quartz movement, given its probable age and style, though this cannot be confirmed without further inspection.
