Supreme Gp Case Appraisal

Open-faced Pocket Watch (Supreme G/P Case)

The item depicted is an open-faced pocket watch, specifically revealing its case back and a portion of the movement or inner workings. The case appears to be made of a gold-plated (G/P) or gold-filled metal, exhibiting a warm, rich gold tone, typical of timepieces from the early to mid-20th century. The outer rim of the case back shows some wear and minor scratches, which is consistent with its age and use. Inside the case back, several distinguishing marks are clearly visible. A circular stamp with a star at its apex encircles text that includes 'QUALITY G/P' and '10 YEARS', indicating a 10-year gold plating guarantee, a common practice for gold-filled cases. Below this, the word 'Supreme' is engraved, likely denoting the case manufacturer or a specific model line. Further below, 'G/P' confirms the gold-plated nature, followed by a serial number '6073216' and 'DA'. These markings contribute significantly to identifying the case's origin and approximate manufacturing period. The watch case itself features a hinged design, allowing access to the movement. The bail (the loop for attaching a chain) is visible, exhibiting an ornate, possibly quatrefoil or clover-like shape, suggesting decorative craftsmanship. The overall condition of the case shows a moderate patina and surface scratches, indicating regular handling over many years. There are no obvious signs of severe damage or major repairs, though a detailed examination of the movement would be required for a full assessment. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality for its type, with clear and legible engravings inside the case back. The visible elements suggest a functional timepiece with a decorative, mid-tier case.
