Small Watch Appraisal

Jubilee Ladies’ Cocktail Wristwatch

This item is a vintage Jubilee brand ladies’ cocktail wristwatch, likely from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1960s or 1970s, given its stylistic elements. The watch features a narrow, elegant band and case, both appearing to be crafted from a silver-toned metal, possibly stainless steel or white gold, with a distinctive textured, bark-like or hammered finish. The overall form factor is elongated and rectangular with slightly rounded ends for the watch case, and a continuous band with the same textured finish. The dial is small and oval-shaped, with a light off-white or silver color. It features simple black baton hour markers and hour and minute hands. The brand name "JUBILEE" is clearly visible on the dial, along with the word "SWISS" at the very bottom, indicating Swiss manufacturing, which is often a mark of quality in watchmaking. A small crown or winder is visible on the right side of the watch case. The condition appears good for its age, with no obvious signs of significant damage like deep scratches, dents, or cracks on the crystal or case. The textured finish may help to conceal minor wear. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, typical of mid-range to higher-end cocktail watches of the period, designed for aesthetic appeal as much as timekeeping functionality. The watch is presented held in a person's hand, giving a good sense of its petite size, characteristic of ladies' wristwatches from that era.
