Beautiful Platinum and Diamond Vertex Art Deco Ladies Cocktail Watch C1940

1920 - 1940
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 articulated shoulders, the design is much of the Art Deco era.

The lovely design shoulders are attached to a Rodium plated steel strap.

As you would expect from Vertex the diamonds are bright, crisp and evenly matched weighing approximately 1.5ct in total.

It is quite stunning with a white dial which has been professionally restored. A new glass has been fitted and the watch 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.

It is fully marked as platinum on the case.

As you would expect from Vertex the watch is fully marked on the movement VW.

It comes complete with a premium black wooden presentation box to keep your watch in perfect condition.

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

The watch head measures 12mm wide not including the crown and the diamond section measures 73mm long.

It fits a wrist size of 7.5 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.

This watch has been fully and professionally overhauled, 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.
