Description

This is an exceptional and beautiful example of a ladies wristwatch made by the world renowned premier Swiss maker Vertex.

It has a platinum case and the most exquisite diamonds which are incredibly white, bright and crisp. The total carat weight is approximately 1ct. It also has diamonds to the collars on the silk strap - elegant and very much in the classic Art Deco design.

The dial is silver with steel peacock blue hands, in superb condition.

It comes with a brand new quality black silk strap and the watch fits a wrist size of up to 8 inches or 20cms although we can reduce this to any required size, it also has its original solid 9ct white gold safety clasp.

As you would expect from Vertex the watch is fully marked movement and the case is also marked platinum and has been fully tested.

The original Vertex movement has just been fully serviced and is running perfectly and keeping time.

Vertex were one of the most exclusive makers in the world, during the 1930s through to the 1950s they made some of the finest platinum and diamond watches ever made and this watch certainly has that understated elegance and quality which resonates class.

The watch diamond case measures 12mm wide not including the crown and is 38mm long

Overall this watch is simple stunning and was obviously extremely well cared for, it would certainly make a perfect gift for any lady especially when worn with that little black dress

FAQs

Art Deco watches are characterised by geometric symmetry, clean lines, and architectural motifs, heavily influenced by the 1920s and 1930s design movements.

Cocktail watches from this era were typically crafted from precious metals such as platinum and white gold, often heavily embellished with diamonds and other gemstones.

Authenticity is identified through hallmarks indicating metal purity, hand-set diamond cuts appropriate to the era such as single or old European cuts, and mechanical movement signatures.

Vintage pieces like cocktail watches can be paired with modern minimalist outfits to create a striking contrast, allowing the intricate historical craftsmanship to stand out.

Store the timepiece in a dry, padded jewellery box away from direct sunlight, have the mechanical movement serviced periodically by a specialist, and avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals.
