Superb Platinum and Diamond Ladies Cocktail Watch by Vertex C1965

1940 - 1960
Description

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

It has a solid platinum case surrounded by a row of diamonds and then more diamonds to the shoulders. The solid 9ct white gold integral twin herringbone design bracelet compliments the diamonds beautifully, it is very fluid and simply glides around the wrist and has an integrated double safety clasp.

As you would expect from Vertex the diamonds are bright, crisp and evenly matched.

It is quite stunning with a white dial. A new glass has been fitted and the watch and bracelet professionally cleaned and polished so it is absolutely pristine.

The 17 jewel movement is an absolute gem, sparkling clean and in like new condition, this is a movement from the golden age of Swiss watchmaking.

As you would expect from Vertex the watch is fully marked on the case, dial and movement.

Vertex are famous for their beautiful diamond watches and this watch certainly has that understated elegance which resonates class.

The watch head measures 18mm in diameter not including the crown.

It fits a maximum wrist size of 6 1/2 inches but this can easily be reduced by any competent jeweller should this be required.

The watch has just been fully overhauled, restored and serviced and is guaranteed to be a genuine Vertex in all respects.

Like all of our watches it comes with a 12 month warranty

This ladies cocktail watch originates from the mid-century period, designed in a silver colour palette with a distinct art deco glamour style. The piece comprises a solid platinum case hosting a round white dial set beneath a new glass, surrounded by a continuous border of bright, evenly matched diamonds. Elaborate bow-shaped diamond-set shoulders connect the watch head to a flexible 9ct white gold twin herringbone woven mesh bracelet fitted with an integrated double safety clasp. A fluted winding crown protrudes from the right side of the circular case, while the dial bears the printed Vertex brand name alongside Swiss manufacturing marks. Professionally cleaned and polished, the pristine exterior presents a brilliant polished finish throughout the precious metal surfaces. The watch measures 18 cm high, 1.8 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, fitting a wrist size up to 16.5 cm with the option for adjustment by a jeweller. Designed primarily as a formal personal accessory, items of this nature suit display within a glass jewellery cabinet or dressing table tray when not in active rotation for evening wear and special occasions. The internal 17-jewel movement functions as a mechanical timepiece driven by manual winding through the side crown, operating as a functional heirloom jewellery piece for modern formal wear.

A cocktail watch is a decorative womens wristwatch designed primarily as fine jewellery for formal evening wear and social occasions.

These watches were typically crafted using precious metals such as platinum or white gold, ornamented with diamonds and powered by compact Swiss mechanical movements.

Authentic pieces feature official precious metal hallmarks such as PLAT or 950 inside the case back, alongside maker signatures on the dial and movement.

A cocktail watch functions effectively as a statement jewellery bracelet, adding a refined accent to modern formalwear, tailing suits, or evening dresses.

Keep the timepiece away from water and strong magnetic fields, and have the mechanical movement cleaned and lubricated by a professional watchmaker every three to five years.
