Vintage 1963 Bulova Ladies 10k White Gold Cocktail Watch

This is a vintage ladies' cocktail watch manufactured by Bulova. The watch case is constructed from 10k white gold, featuring a circular back plate with a refined sunburst brushed finish. The exterior case back is clearly stamped with the manufacturer name 'BULOVA', the material purity '10K GOLD', and the date code 'M3', which pinpoint the manufacturing year to 1963. Below these markings, a unique serial number 'T81480' is deeply engraved. The watch is attached to a flexible, stainless steel expansion-style bracelet with a faceted block design that creates a subtle shimmer when reflecting light. Physically, the item shows signs of light vintage wear and surface scratching consistent with age and regular use. There is no visible sign of structural repair. This style of cocktail watch was characteristic of the early 1960s, prioritizing a slim, jewelry-like aesthetic for formal wear. The serrated winding crown is located at the 3 o'clock position and appears original. The craftsmanship reflects the mid-century standards of Bulova, known for reliable domestic timepieces and elegant, wearable jewelry designs.
