Vintage Ladies Bulova Art Deco Cocktail Watch

This is a vintage ladies' cocktail wristwatch manufactured by Bulova, likely dating to the late 1920s or 1930s during the Art Deco movement. The timepiece features a tonneau-shaped (barrel) case constructed from yellow gold-tone metal, which suggests it is likely gold-filled or rolled gold plate, a common practice for Bulova during this era. The bezel and lugs are highly decorative, featuring intricate floral or scrollwork engraving characteristic of the period. Notably, the upper and lower lugs are accented with white metal (likely white gold or platinum over silver) and set with small sparkling stones, which appear to be single-cut diamonds or high-quality glass pastes, adding a classic Art Deco bi-color aesthetic. The dial is rectangular with rounded corners, finished in a cream or light champagne color, showing a slight warm patina consistent with age. It features stylized gold Arabic numerals and spade-style hour and minute hands. The crystal shows some surface scuffing but remains clear. The watch is attached to a slim, articulated yellow gold-tone bracelet of the era. This piece exemplifies the high-quality craftsmanship of Bulova's early 20th-century jewelry watches, designed as both a precise timekeeper and a piece of formal evening jewelry.
