Louis Bernet Quartz Rectangular Gold-Tone Textured Wristwatch

This is a vintage ladies' or unisex dress wristwatch by Louis Bernet, likely dating from the mid-to-late 1980s. The piece features a distinct rectangular case integrated into a matching gold-tone metal bracelet. A defining physical characteristic is the repetitive horizontal ribbing or 'milled' texture that runs consistently through the bezel and across every link of the bracelet, creating a seamless, architectural aesthetic. The dial is a matching champagne or gold-tone color with faint horizontal brush marks, minimal hour indexing, and slim black pencil hands. It is marked with the Louis Bernet 'LB' stylized logo at the 12 o'clock position and the text 'LOUIS BERNET QUARTZ' above the 6 o'clock mark, with 'SWISS MOVMT' at the very bottom. The watch is powered by a battery-operated quartz movement. Regarding condition, there is several visible areas of wear; the gold plating is thinning particularly on the sharp edges of the ribbed texture, revealing a darker base metal or greenish oxidation (verdigris) in the crevices. Scratches are evident on the acrylic or mineral crystal, and the crown shows significant plating loss. This item represents the 'costume' jewelry watch style popular in the 1980s, prioritizing bold, geometric design over high-horology materials.
