It has a platinum case surrounded by a row of diamonds and then more diamonds to the beautifully shaped lugs. The diamonds are all old cut natural bright, crisp and evenly matched and none have been replaced.
It has its original solid platinum sprung link bracelet, all of the links are in superb working condition and it has a double safety clasp for added security.
It is quite stunning with its original dial which shows the slight patination you would expect from a watch of this period. The watch case and bracelet have just professionally cleaned and polished so it is absolutely pristine.
The movement was made by a small Swiss company called Arnold Schild who later became part of the Longines group.
Most unusually it has an oval shaped movement which means it was made specifically for this case and was probably a bespoke made piece.
It comes complete with a new presentation box to keep your watch in perfect condition.
A genuine Art Deco piece of jewellery.
