Pre Owned Tissot Watch Appraisal

Vintage Tissot Women's Watch

This item is a vintage women's wristwatch featuring a rectangular or subtly tonneau-shaped gold-toned case. The dial is also gold-colored, presenting a monochromatic aesthetic with simple, applied stick hour markers, indicating a minimalist design. The hands are thin, black-colored dauphine or stick style, providing a subtle contrast against the dial for legibility. The manufacturer's name, 'TISSOT', is clearly visible on the upper half of the dial, directly below the 12 o'clock position, and 'SWISS MADE' is discernible at the very bottom edge. The crown, used for setting the time, is visible on the right side of the case. The watch is attached to an extendable, silver-toned metal bracelet with a jubilee-style or expansion link design, which appears to be made of a base metal, contrasting with the gold-toned watch case. Visible condition issues include some wear and possibly plating loss on the lugs where the bracelet attaches to the watch case, and a general patina across the gold-toned surfaces consistent with age and use. The metal bracelet also shows signs of wear and minor discoloration. The overall aesthetic suggests a production period from the mid-20th century, likely the 1960s or 1970s, aligning with the design trends of that era. The watch exhibits a classic, understated elegance typical of Swiss watchmaking of its time, providing a good example of a functional yet stylish accessory.
