Vintage Bulova Ladies' Cocktail Watch

This is a vintage Bulova ladies' dress or cocktail watch, likely dating from the 1950s or 1960s based on its stylistic elements. The watch features a small, dainty rectangular-to-cushion shaped ivory dial housed within a highly decorative white gold-toned metal case. The case boasts a scalloped or 'fancy' bezel with architectural lug details that suggest an Art Deco influence transitioning into Mid-Century design. The dial displays the 'BULOVA' name prominently at the 12 o'clock position, with 'SWISS' visible at the bottom, indicating a Swiss-made movement. It utilizes a mix of Arabic numerals (12, 2, 4, 8, 10) and dot markers, all in a gold-tone finish to match the hands. The case shows visible signs of age including surface scratches, some tarnishing, and potential wear to the plating on the high points of the decorative bezel. The crystal appears slightly clouded or scratched from use. There is a textured winding crown on the right side. The overall craftsmanship reflects the high-quality standards of Bulova during this era, focusing on jewelry-like aesthetics for women's formal timepieces. The watch is attached to a flexible expansion-style metal bracelet, which was common for this period but may be a later replacement.
