Spectacular Platinum and 4cts of Diamonds Ladies Cocktail Watch by Asprey C1930

1920 - 1940
Description

This is a spectacular example of a ladies diamond cocktail watch made by the crown jewellers Asprey of London

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 4cts. It also has diamonds to the collars.

The dial is perfect having just been professionally restored

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.

The total diamond weight is approximately 4 carats with 16 large diamonds around the dial and more diamonds to the articulated shoulders, they are all bright clear and well matched with lots of sparkle.

It comes with its original solid 9ct white gold rope bracelet with diamond accent collars it will fit a wrist size from 15cm 6 inches to 17cm 6 3/4 inches.

Unfortunately the original 1930s movement was beyond restoration so we have replaced it with a fully serviced top class Rolex calibre 1401 movement from the 1960s, a movement that matches the quality of the watch.

As you would expect from Asprey the watch is fully hallmarked on the clasp and the case, it is also marked platinum inside the case back and has been fully tested.

This is truly an exceptional piece.

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

The watch case is quite large measuring 25mm in diameter not including the crown and the length including the hinged diamond shoulders is 44mm

Like all of our watches it comes with a 1 year warranty.

You will never see another.

We offer a highly personalised and bespoke service.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Popularised in the 1920s and 1930s, a cocktail watch is a compact, decorative wristwatch designed to function simultaneously as fine jewellery and a timepiece for formal evening events.

High-end 1930s cocktail watches were predominantly crafted from platinum or white gold to provide a neutral setting for precious gemstones, particularly diamonds, paired with manual-wind mechanical movements.

Authentic pieces feature geometric motifs, fine grain gem-setting techniques like milgrain detailing, makers hallmarks stamped inside the case, and mechanical movements appropriate to the period.

A vintage diamond cocktail watch pairs well with evening gowns, black-tie tailoring, or minimalist modern occasionwear, acting as an elegant focal piece on the wrist.

Store the timepiece in a dry, padded jewellery box away from humidity, clean the diamonds gently with a soft dry brush, and have the internal mechanical movement serviced by a professional watchmaker.
