Geneve 14K Gold Case Ladies Watch with Leather Band

This is a ladies' wristwatch with a case constructed of 14K gold, as indicated by the inscription '14K GOLD' prominently displayed on the back of the case. Beneath this, the word 'GENEVE' is also inscribed, suggesting a potential origin or design inspiration from Geneva, Switzerland, a renowned center for watchmaking. The case back is circular with a brushed or satin finish, showing some minor surface scratches consistent with light wear. The overall color of the gold case is a warm yellow-gold tone. The watch is fitted with a light-colored, possibly cream or very light tan, leather band with a textured finish resembling alligator or lizard print. The band is attached to the case via simple spring bars. The condition of the band appears to be well-worn, with visible creasing and some discoloration around the attachment points. The lugs are simple and integrated into the case design. While the front of the watch is not visible, the case back inscription suggests a genuine gold case from a period between 1960 and 1980, aligning with the context provided. The craftsmanship of the case back inscription appears clear and well-defined. There are no other visible manufacturer's marks, serial numbers, or engravings on the case back from the provided image. A small area of what could be tarnish or surface residue is visible on the lower left edge of the case back.
