Vintage Bulova Ladies Cocktails Watch

This is a mid-century vintage ladies cocktail wristwatch featuring a small, square-shaped yellow gold-toned case. The dial displays the 'Bulova' maker's mark in a serif font below the 12 o'clock position. The face is uniquely adorned with alternating red and clear gemstones (likely synthetic rubies and glass or white spinels) serving as hour markers on a light cream-colored dial. It features baton-style hands and a domed acrylic crystal that shows light surface scratching. The case is integrated with a stylized, decorative link bracelet that mimics a twisted or braided rope design, typical of the 1940s to early 1950s aesthetic. The watch exhibits noticeable wear consistent with age, including significant brassing where the gold plating has worn away to reveal the base metal underneath, particularly on the lugs and bracelet links. Accumulation of dirt and patina is visible in the recessed areas of the metalwork. The crown appears original, and the overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced luxury accessory from the post-WWII era.
