Vintage Gold Tone Ladies' Wristwatch with Checkered Dial

This is a vintage ladies' wristwatch, characterized by its radiant gold-tone finish and intricate detailing. The watch features a rectangular case housing a distinctive checkered dial. The dial itself appears to be gold or similarly colored, with alternating matte and polished or textured squares, creating a 'checkerboard' effect. A small, clear stone (likely a diamond or diamond simulant) is set at the 12 o'clock position, serving as an hour marker, with additional smaller stones possibly at other hour positions, though these are less clear. The hour and minute hands are simple, slender batons in a matching gold tone. The watch is attached to a flexible, woven 'mesh' or 'basket-weave' style bracelet, which seamlessly integrates with the watch case, suggesting a unified design. The overall size appears delicate, consistent with ladies' watches from the mid-to-late 20th century. The material is likely gold-plated or gold-filled base metal, given the uniform shimmering gold appearance and the typical manufacturing of such pieces. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures discernible from the image, specifically on the dial or clasp. The condition appears to be good vintage, with no obvious signs of major damage such as cracks or deep scratches; however, minor surface wear or tarnish, consistent with age and use, may be present. The clasp mechanism is a fold-over style, also in a gold tone. The craftsmanship of the woven bracelet indicates a moderate level of quality, creating a sophisticated and elegant aesthetic typical of watches from the 1960s to 1980s.
