Delightful Benson and Longines Platinum and Diamond Ladies Art Deco Cocktail Watch C1935

1920 - 1940
Description

This is a wonderful example of an Art Deco ladies cocktail watch retailed by Benson and the movement was made by the Swiss premier maker Longines.

It has a platinum case and diamonds to the top and bottom of the case and lugs.

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

It comes complete with a presentation box.

A new glass has been fitted and the case professionally cleaned and polished so it is absolutely pristine.

It comes with a brand new quality slim black leather strap.

As you would expect from Benson and Longines the watch is fully marked on the dial and movement and the case is also marked platinum which has been fully tested.

The watch diamond case measures 32mm long and 12mm wide not including the crown.

The watch has just been fully overhauled, restored and serviced.

This watch has been fully and professionally overhauled by the Omega watch specialist Alan Williams FBHI, the process is highly detailed and meticulous.

The watch is stripped down to its component parts and each part is examined under a microscope for signs of wear, any worn parts are replaced with genuine manufacturers original parts. every part is then thoroughly cleaned in a 3 stage ultrasonic cleaning process.

The movement is then fully assembled using manufacturer approved oils and lubricants and is carried out in a clean room environment. The watch movement is then checked and adjusted for accurate time keeping. The cases are polished and the watch sealed.

Obviously this is not a cheap or quick process which is why our watches are sometimes a little more expensive than others but you can be assured our watches will give reliable and dependable service and will not require any further attention for many years.
