Art Deco ladies wristwatch (not authenticated)

This is a vintage ladies mechanical wristwatch featuring a distinctive hexagonal or octagonal case design, which is visually consistent with the Art Deco period of the early to mid-20th century. The watch is presented on a delicate, flexible mesh-style metal bracelet equipped with a small buckle closure and adjustment holes. The case bezel and possibly the upper lugs display fine engraved or etched geometric ornamentation. The dial is light-colored, round within the geometric case, and features dark Arabic numerals for hour markers, along with slender hands. The visible physical condition shows age-related patina, minor surface wear, and some discoloration on the dial and metal components, indicating it has not been recently polished or restored. There are no clearly legible maker's marks, brand logos, or hallmarks visible from this photographic angle; therefore, the identification rests entirely on the stylistic design of the case and bracelet. This item is unauthenticated, and the exact metal composition (whether white gold, silver, or plated base metal), internal movement type, and manufacturer remain unverified.

Based on what I can see in the photograph, this ladies mechanical wristwatch exhibits stylistic features consistent with the Art Deco period of the early to mid-20th century, including a geometric case design and fine engraved ornamentation on the bezel and lugs. However, I cannot verify the internal movement type, exact metal composition, or manufacturer from a photo alone. There are no clearly legible maker's marks or hallmarks visible, and the item remains unauthenticated. My value estimate of $150 to $300 assumes the stylistic attribution is correct and that the mechanical movement is operational. This range reflects current general market demand for vintage, unbranded Art Deco dress watches in fair, unpolished condition with noticeable age-related patina and dial discoloration. Physical inspection by a qualified horologist would be needed to confirm the functionality of the movement and the presence of any precious metal hallmarks. If this piece were to turn out to be a later reproduction, a modern replica, or an unbranded piece created simply in the style of the period rather than a period-correct vintage item, the market value would likely decrease to the $50 to $100 range, primarily reflecting decorative or scrap value.
