Rose Motif Band Appraisal

Gold-Tone Ladies' Wristwatch with Rose Motif Band

This item is a ladies' wristwatch, characterized by its elegant gold-tone finish and a distinctive band featuring an embossed rose motif. The watch has a small, tonneau-shaped (barrel-shaped) case, with the bezel appearing to have a twisted or rope-like texture around the black dial. The dial itself is minimalistic, with simple gold-tone hour and minute hands. There are no visible hour markers, only a small, possibly decorative, element at the 12 o'clock position that could be a single diamond or a metallic dot. A small crown for setting the time is visible on the right side of the case. The watchband is a standout feature, composed of a flexible metal mesh or link structure, entirely covered in an ornate, repeating pattern of roses and vines that run along its length. The gold-tone finish has a matte or brushed appearance in some areas, particularly on the relief of the roses, which suggests a slightly antiqued or satin finish rather than a high polish. No specific brand names, manufacturer marks, or material stamps (e.g., '14K gold' or 'gold-filled') are discernible from the provided images. The overall design language, particularly the ornate band and smaller case size, suggests it might date from the mid-20th century, possibly 1950s-1970s, though without clear markings, this is an estimation. The condition appears fair to good; while no obvious damage like significant scratches or dents are visible, the general wear and potential for plating loss (if gold-plated) or minor tarnishing cannot be fully assessed without closer inspection. The intricate rose detailing on the band indicates a certain level of craftsmanship, aiming for a decorative and feminine aesthetic.
