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 European old cut diamonds which are deeper than modern day cut and are incredibly white, bright and crisp, the sparkle they generate is absolutely amazing. The total carat weight is approximately 3cts. It also has diamonds to the collars on the traditional silk cord.

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

It is quite stunning, a new glass has been fitted and the case professionally cleaned and polished so it is absolutely pristine, this is one of the best quality diamond watches we have come across.

It has 20 large diamonds around the dial and more diamonds to the shoulders, they are all bright clear and well matched.

It comes with a brand new quality black silk strap which we can make to fit any wrist size, just let us know the measurement you require or just send it back to us at a later date for resizing.

The 17 jewel movement is an absolutely incredible sparkling clean and in like new condition, this is a movement from the golden age of Swiss watchmaking during which Vertex diamond watches were regarded as the best you could buy.

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

This is truly an exceptional piece and was Vertex top of the range model.

Vertex are one of the most exclusive makers in the world during the 1930s and this watch certainly has that art deco elegance which resonates class.

The watch case is large and measures 24mm in diameter not including the crown.

Overall this watch is simply 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.

The watch has just been fully serviced and comes with a 12 month warranty.

An Art Deco ladies cocktail watch by Vertex originates from 1930. The piece is formed from platinum and set with approximately 3cts of diamonds on the circular bezel and geometric shoulders, accompanied by steel peacock blue hands on a white dial marked with black Arabic numerals. The piece includes a black fabric cord strap with small diamond-set collars securing the band above and below the case, alongside a small round metal winding crown on the right side. The overall dimensions measure 20 cm high, 2.6 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. The piece is suited for wear as a formal accessory on the wrist for special occasions. Vertex manufactured the timepiece during the height of the Art Deco period, incorporating a 17-jewel movement housed inside a fully marked platinum case. The white enamel-look dial displays the brand name in capital letters beneath the twelve o'clock position and reads Swiss Made at the bottom edge. The flexible cord bracelet secures with small rectangular settings containing tiny round stones. The watch functions as a wearable item of jewellery for formal evening events or elegant everyday dressing.

Popularised during the 1920s and 1930s, cocktail watches are decorative, jewelled timepieces designed primarily as evening wear accessories, often set in precious metals like platinum with geometric gem arrangements.

High-end cocktail watches from the 1930s typically featured platinum or white gold cases, single-cut or full-cut diamonds, white or cream dials, and cord straps made from silk, rayon, or leather.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit makers marks or metal purity hallmarks stamped inside the case back, mechanical hand-wound movements, and fine diamond settings consistent with period craftsmanship.

A vintage cocktail watch serves as a delicate focal piece when worn alongside modern evening wear or tailored suits, pairing easily with minimalist platinum or white gold bracelets.

Keep the watch away from water, moisture, and magnetic fields, store it in a soft lined box, and have the mechanical movement serviced by a professional horologist every three to five years.
