Beautiful Platinum and Diamond Ladies Art Deco Cocktail Watch by Vertex C1950

1940 - 1960
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 platinum case surrounded by a row of diamonds and then more diamonds to the shoulders in a leaf design. The solid 9ct white gold snake link integral design bracelet compliments the diamonds beautifully and really does make the diamonds sparkle and shine, it is very fluid and simply glides around the wrist. It has a three position safety clasp for added security.

As you would expect from Vertex the diamonds are bright, crisp and evenly matched weighing approximately 2cts in total.

It is quite stunning with a white dial. A new glass has been fitted and the watch and bracelet 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 on the case as platinum and the bracelet is hallmarked 9ct gold.

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

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

The watch case measures 18mm in diameter not including the crown.

It fits a maximum wrist size of 6.75 inches or 17cms 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.
