Raymond Weil Geneve 18k Gold Electroplated Dress Watch

This is a vintage Raymond Weil Geneve dress watch, characterized by its classic, ultra-thin aesthetic typical of Swiss luxury designs from the late 20th century. The watch features a circular yellow gold-toned case, likely 18k gold electroplated, with a distinct fluted or coin-edge bezel that adds a textural contrast to the high-polish lugs. The champagne-colored dial is minimalist, featuring slim applied gold stick indices and matching baton hands. The brand's 'RW' logo is prominently placed at the 12 o'clock position above the 'RAYMOND WEIL GENEVE' text. The watch is powered by a quartz movement, indicating a manufacturing date likely between the late 1980s and 1990s. It is paired with a reddish-brown lizard skin or embossed leather strap that appears to be after-market or a well-maintained original. Regarding condition, there is visible flaking or deterioration of the plating on the dial near the 6 o'clock and 7 o'clock hour markers, suggesting moisture ingress or age-related degradation of the dial finish. The crystal shows minor surface abrasions, and the case exhibits general micro-scratching consistent with regular wear. The crown is original and intact, and the overall construction reflects the high-quality craftsmanship of independent Swiss watchmaking from this era.
