Vintage Platinum and Diamond Art Deco Cocktail Watch
This exquisite ladies' cocktail watch features a manual-wind movement encased in a high-polished white metal, likely platinum or 18k white gold, characteristic of the Art Deco period. The petite rectangular watch face is surrounded by a halo of channel-set baguette-cut diamonds and prong-set round brilliant diamonds. Extending from the top and bottom of the case are ornate floral or leaf-motif lugs, each masterfully set with five marquise-cut diamonds and a central round diamond accent. The dial is a soft champagne or silver tone, featuring Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions with simple black baton hands. The bracelet section shown includes a rectangular link set with a baguette diamond, leading into a flexible herringbone-style band. The craftsmanship exhibits high-end jewelry techniques from the mid-20th century, approximately circa 1930s-1950s. The stones appear remarkably clear with high brilliance, suggesting high-grade VS or VVS diamonds. While Maker's marks are not visible on the dial in the provided photo, the complexity of the stone setting indicates a significant jeweler. Condition appears excellent with no missing stones or significant scratches visible on the crystal, though a light patina is typical for its age.
