Stunning Rare Platinum and Diamond Ladies Cocktail Watch by Bensons of London C1950

1940 - 1960
Description

This is a lovely example of a ladies wristwatch.

It has a platinum case surrounded by diamonds and then more diamonds to the articulated shoulders which are incredibly white, bright and crisp. The total carat weight is approximately 1.5cts - elegant and very much in the classic Art Deco design.

It has the original the 9ct white gold clasp to the white silk strap making it the perfect accessary for a wedding dress.

We can fit almost any colour of silk strap and it can be made to fit any wrist size.

The case measures 15mm wide and the diamond section in total is 45mm long.

It comes complete with a presentation box.

It is quite stunning, a new glass has been fitted and the case professionally cleaned and polished so it is absolutely pristine.

The case is marked platinum and has been fully tested.

This watch certainly has that understated elegance which resonates class.

Overall this watch is simple stunning and was obviously extremely well cared for, it would certainly make a perfect gift for any lady especially when worn with that little black dress - very Audrey Hepburn!

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.
