Nugget Texture Watch Appraisal

Vintage Ladies Bulova Diamond and Nugget Texture Gold Watch

This is a vintage ladies' wristwatch featuring a distinctive 'nugget' textured finish, which was highly popular during the 1970s and 1980s. The piece is constructed with a yellow gold-toned metal, likely 10k or 14k gold given the style, though markings on the clasp are not fully legible in the image. The watch face is square with rounded corners, branded 'Bulova' at the 12 o'clock position. The dial is a matching champagne color with simple stick indices. Flanking the watch head are two larger coffin-shaped links, each uniquely adorned with an applied white metal setting (likely white gold or platinum) pavé-set with approximately 15 to 20 small round diamonds or high-quality stimulants. The watch band continues with rectangular nugget-style links integrated into a cohesive bracelet design. The craftsmanship shows significant detail in the organic, irregular 'gold nugget' texture, which was intended to hide minor scratches and provide a bold, luxurious aesthetic. Condition-wise, the watch appears to be in good vintage state with some visible patina and surface wear on the lower links and clasp, consistent with age. The crystal appears clear without major scratches, and the link integrity seems sound, though a movement inspection would be required to verify functional mechanical or quartz timekeeping.
