This is a very fine and exquisite example of a ladies cocktail wristwatch made by the world renowned Crown Jewellers Mappin and Webb
It has a solid 9ct gold case and bracelet set with diamonds. As you would expect from one of the Crown Jewellers the diamonds are bright, crisp and evenly matched.
The total diamond content is 1ct.
The woven design bracelet is of solid 9ct gold and it just simply glides around the wrist. it has a London hallmark for 1955
It fits a maximum wrist size of 6 1/2 inches or 165mm and it can be reduced by 3 steps on the clasp down to 150mm or 6 inches.
The case measures 14mm wide excluding the winding crown.
It is quite stunning with its fully restored dial which is in perfect as new condition and the watch has been professionally cleaned and polished so it is absolutely pristine.
The fully serviced 15 jewel movement by Marc Favre is an absolute gem, sparkling clean and in like new condition, this is a movement from the golden age of Swiss watchmaking. Marc Favre was one of the most famous movement designers of the period and designed many movements for Omega. Mappin and Webb didn''t skimp on quality when it came to the selection of their movements.
Overall this watch is in beautiful condition and looks as if it was hardly ever worn, it would certainly make a perfect gift for any lady.
