Vintage Bulova Ladies' Art Deco Cocktail Watch

This is a vintage ladies' cocktail watch manufactured by Bulova, featuring a distinctive Art Deco silhouette. The case is constructed from 10k rolled gold plate, exhibiting a warm yellow gold tone with significant horizontal fluting or terracing on the top and bottom lugs. The tonneau-shaped case includes an ornate, engraved bezel surrounding a rectangular dial. The dial itself has aged to a golden-tan patina and features printed black Arabic numerals and the 'BULOVA' brand name clearly visible at the 12 o'clock position. The hands appear to be a dark metallic blue or black, though they show signs of oxidation. Condition-wise, the watch displays moderate to heavy wear consistent with age, including surface scratches on the crystal and case, and notable gold-fill loss on high-friction areas around the crown and lugs. The case measures approximately 15mm-18mm in width, characteristic of female formal timepieces from the 1930s to 1940s. A small, knurled winding crown is situated at the 3 o'clock position. The piece is currently missing its original strap, shown here with a temporary cord or wire filament.
