Vintage Bulova Women's Gold-Toned Wristwatch
This is a vintage Bulova women's wristwatch, characterized by its elegant, compact design likely from the mid-20th century, possibly 1950s or 1960s, given its style. The watch features a small, square-shaped case with decorative, tapered lugs that integrate seamlessly with the gold-toned expansion bracelet. The case and bracelet appear to be made of gold-plated or gold-filled metal, exhibiting some wear through the plating, particularly on the edges and raised areas of the bracelet links, revealing a darker base metal beneath. The dial is light-colored, possibly cream or white, with applied gold-toned Arabic numerals marking the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions, and stick markers for the other hours. The hour and minute hands are also gold-toned, in a dauphine or similar elegant style. The brand name "Bulova" is clearly visible on the dial below the 12 o'clock position. There is a prominent crown on the right side of the case for setting the time. The crystal appears to be domed and shows some minor surface scratches, consistent with age and use. The expansion bracelet has a ribbed or textured pattern on each link, allowing it to stretch for easy wear. The overall condition suggests regular use but no severe damage; there are signs of patina and wear marks on the metal surface, which are common for vintage pieces of this era and material. The craftsmanship indicates a mass-produced, yet respectable, timekeeping device aimed at the ladies' market during its period.
