Merano Gold Tone Ladies' Wristwatch

This is a vintage Merano ladies' wristwatch, characterized by its ornate gold-tone design. The watch features a small, rectangular case with a square dial. The dial, likely mother-of-pearl given its iridescent sheen, displays Arabic numerals at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, with hash marks for the other hours. The hands appear to be a dark metallic color, possibly black or blued steel, providing contrast against the light dial. The brand name 'MERANO' is clearly visible below the 12 o'clock marker. The watch case and integrated bracelet exhibit a heavily textured, almost bark-like or florentine finish, suggesting a mid-20th-century style, likely 1950s or 1960s. The bracelet design is quite intricate, featuring raised, abstract 'V' or chevron-like patterns on some sections. The material appears to be gold-filled or gold-plated, given its rich yellow color and the vintage style common for such jewelry watches. There are no readily apparent condition issues such as major scratches, dents, or missing components from the visible areas. The overall craftsmanship suggests a decorative and fashionable piece for its era, designed to blend timekeeping with a jewelry aesthetic. The 'perfect working order' context indicates the mechanical movement is functional.
