Vintage Ladies' Cocktail Watch with Diamond Accents

This is a vintage ladies' cocktail watch, likely dating from the mid-20th century, possibly the 1940s to 1960s, given its style. The watch features an elongated, marquise or oval-shaped case, possibly crafted from white gold or platinum, or a white-gold plated base metal, though further inspection would be needed to confirm the exact material. The dial is light in color, possibly silver-toned or white, with dark hour markers that appear to be a mix of applied dots and possibly some numeric indicators, though these are difficult to discern clearly. The hands are dark, likely dauphine or stick style. The crown is small and fluted, positioned at the 3 o'clock mark. The watch is attached to an integrated bracelet, which features an ornate, possibly Art Deco or Art Nouveau inspired design with what appear to be floral or leaf-like motifs at the lugs where the bracelet connects to the watch case. These motifs are accented with small, round-cut diamonds or diamond simulants set within milgrain or bezel settings. The remainder of the bracelet consists of flexible, integrated links. The visible condition suggests some wear consistent with its age, including potential scratches on the case and crystal, and possibly some discoloration or patina on the metal. The diamonds appear to be intact, but their quality and clarity cannot be assessed from the image. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced but still elegant piece, typical of cocktail watches from that era designed for evening wear. No discernible maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image.
