Etienne Gold-Tone Quartz Ladies' Expansion Bracelet Watch

This is a vintage ladies' dress watch featuring an oval-shaped case and a matching gold-tone expansion bracelet. The dial is a champagne sunray finish, marked with the 'Etienne' brand name at the 12 o'clock position and 'QUARTZ' above the 6 o'clock mark. A notable design element is the inclusion of a single small clear stone, likely a crystal or rhinestone, set into the dial at the 3 o'clock position. The hands are tapered batons in a matching gold tone. The bezel is textured with subtle radial grooves at the cardinal points. The bracelet is a classic three-row linked expansion style, which allows for adjustable sizing without a clasp. Physically, the watch shows significant signs of wear and age. There is visible brassing and loss of the gold-tone plating, particularly along the edges of the case and high-contact areas of the bracelet links, revealing the silver-toned base metal beneath. Fine scratches are present across the crystal and the polished metal surfaces. This piece likely dates from the late 1980s to the 1990s and represents a budget-friendly fashion accessory rather than high horology. The movement is quartz-based, indicating it is battery-operated, and the construction suggests a mass-market production intended for daily wear.
