Ladies Swiss Sterling Silver Watch With Bracelet - OWNED & WORN BY DORIS DAY
Located in Suwanee, GA
NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU?
We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers with a 5.0 star rating on other online sites.
Ladies Swiss Sterling Silver Watch With Link Bracelet - OWNED & WORN BY DORIS DAY
Certificate of Authenticity - Full Provenance with 2 COAs - 1 Year Warranty
Today's offering showcases this stylish ladies Swiss made chrona sterling silver watch with original sterling silver link bracelet owned and worn by the late beloved entertainer Doris Day.
Doris Day was the quintessential American sweetheart—an icon of silver screen charm, vocal brilliance, and effortless elegance. Rising to fame in the post-war era, she captivated audiences with her radiant smile, warm presence, and unmistakable voice, becoming one of the most beloved entertainers of the 20th century.
Her film career included a string of box-office hits like Calamity Jane, Pillow Talk, and The Man Who Knew Too Much, showcasing her versatility as both a comedic talent and a dramatic actress. She was nominated for an Academy Award and received the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement, not to mention her numerous other accolades across both film and music.
As a singer, Doris Day's legacy is equally enduring. Her velvety vocals made hits like "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)" and "Sentimental Journey" timeless classics. She recorded more than 650 songs across her career, making her one of the most prolific and best-selling female vocalists of her generation.
But beyond the screen and stage, Doris Day was known for her impeccable taste and style - always polished, always graceful. Her love for clean lines, pastel hues, and feminine silhouettes made her a quiet but powerful fashion influence in the golden age of Hollywood. She carried herself with a natural glamour that was never forced, always authentic.
A devoted animal rights advocate, she dedicated the latter part of her life to causes she cared deeply about, founding the Doris Day Animal Foundation and lobbying tirelessly for animal welfare. Her compassion off-camera was as genuine and impactful as her on-screen presence.
Owning a piece from Doris Day's personal collection - especially a timepiece that she wore - offers more than vintage sophistication. It carries the weight of her extraordinary legacy: a woman of talent, tenderness, and timeless style.
It is in its original condition which present as excellent. The bezel is thick and rounded like a polished pebble, almost more like a bangle than a traditional case. It feels more like wearable art, which aligns well with fashion-forward 1970s and 1980s trends.
Its primary function may be aesthetic as much as practical. It doubles as a silver bracelet, likely worn to complement outfits and provide a subtle signature piece - especially for someone like Doris Day, whose style was approachable, classic, and quietly luxurious.
The dial is modernist - no hour markers, no date window, no second hand; just a brushed silver face with two slender hands. This minimalism lends the watch a timeless elegance.
It was clearly worn and enjoyed by Doris Day through it remains in good condition. We have not cleaned or polished the watch or done anything to the outside of it - we left it just as we acquired it. The only work we have done on the watch is one of our Master Watchmakers, who as an authorized Rolex Watchmaker, has installed a new battery making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity. Also accompanying it is a Certificate of Authenticity and Provenance from a well-known auction house.

1966 TUDOR (Rolex) OYSTER PRINCE Vintage Mens Ref. 7995 Watch - Stainless Steel
Rolex Case & Crown - Gorgeous Original Condition - 1 Year Warranty
More and more collectors are becoming acquainted with watches from Rolex's Tudor brand, creations which have become increasingly more collectible. Watches in the Tudor line, apart from the fact that they utilize ebauche movements, are similar to those of Rolex in design and construction.
When Rolex launched the Tudor brand in 1945, they strongly intended that the public perception of its quality had to equal that of Rolex. To achieve this lofty aim, until the mid-1990's, Tudor watches featured Rolex cases and crowns, and, until 1971, Rolex bracelets.
An advertisement in Britain's Horological Journal in vintage times stated that Tudor's were, "Manufactured under strict Rolex supervision and bear the Rolex label of guarantee."
Today's offering showcases this Certified Pre-Owned Tudor Oyster Prince automatic mens watch in gorgeous original condition.
We really like its cool mixed Roman and baton dial.
Patterned after the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, one of the company's staple and respected models, it possessed the same features and conception - it was thinner and a bit more affordable than its Rolex sibling.
Our Oyster Prince has all of its original parts. Its original Rolex Oyster case presents in mint condition with only slight signs of previous polishing.
Please note that the area that looks discolored underneath one of the top lugs is just a shadow. The case presents as mint.
Its untouched original dial is mint.
One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker, has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Rolex parts, installing a new mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value).
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile lizard strap and aftermarket Rolex...

We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers via other online sites with a 5.0 star rating.
1971 OMEGA DYNAMIC Vintage Mens First Generation Cal. 565 Watch with Quick-Setting Date - Stainless Steel
Gorgeous Original Condition - Interesting & Distinctive - 1 Year Warranty
Created in 1967 by Omega's sales director Robert Forster, the Dynamic is an iconic example of a true retro style. The clean and functional watch, a considerable success for Omega, possessed a number of designed elements that made it stand out:
An ellipse shape with recessed crown determined to be the best geometric shape for the wrist, determined after extensive study
Easy to read two-tone dial with "time zone" sections.
Unicoc case with hermetically sealed crystal water-resistant to a depth of 30m.
Available with a stainless steel bracelet or easily interchangeable water-resistant Cor-fam straps
According to an Omega advertisement at the time, "The shape of the Omega Dynamic was determined by the anatomy of your wrist; its dial by the workings of your eyes; it strap by the physiology of your skin."
Today's offering showcases this first edition Dynamic in gorgeous all-original condition. The first generation of the watch lasted only from 1968 until 1970.
As one of the early Dynamics, before Omega switched to using the 1000 series movements for the line, it is powered by Omega's high-grade caliber 565.
Omega's top-tier caliber 565 movement, one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs, was the top-tier offering of the 500 series. It has 24 jewels and a quick-setting date and is arguably the finest mass-produced automatic movement from era.
It is all-original and presents in gorgeous condition. Its case presents as mint. The stamping on the back is still perfectly crisp.

1961 Rolex Vintage Turn-O-Graph Thunderbird Datejust 18K Gold SS Watch
By Rolex
Located in Suwanee, GA
NAMED ONE OF WATCHPRO MAGAZINE’S “HOT 100” - THE TOP 100 INFLUENCERS OF THE U.S. WATCH INDUSTRY. HOW CAN WE SERVE YOU?
We’re new to offering our carefully curated collection on 1stDibs, but we have sold over 10,000 fine watches and exceptionally served thousands of customers via other online sites with a 5.0 star rating.
1961 ROLEX Vintage Turn-O-Graph Thunderbird Datejust Mens Watch, 1625 - Stainless Steel & 18K Gold
The Most Expensive of All the Datejust Models - Original - Serviced with Warranty
Launched around 1953, the vintage Turn-O-Graph was designed for adventure lovers. It gained notoriety due to its use by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbird Flight Aerobatic Flight Team. It features a bi-directional bezel to measure elapsed time, making it the most functional and expensive watch in the Datejust line. In fact, prior to the introduction of the Day-Date President, the solid gold Turn-O-Graph was the most expensive Rolex cataloged.
The watch did not originally enjoy terribly strong sales success and thus not a tremendous number were made, making vintage examples sought after by collectors.
Here are some of this watch's features:
Desirable vintage Turn-O-Graph
Beautiful champagne pie-pan dial which gives the watch a classic and more elegant look
Solid 18K gold rotating bezel designed to measure elapsed time
Officially Certified Chronometer caliber 1570 movement - a mechanism that powered models of the Datejusts as well as early Submariner, Explorer, and GMT models
Rolex crimped link Jubilee bracelet
Our vintage Turn-O-Graph has fully Rolex parts and presents in pleasing condition.
Its case presents in excellent condition with signs of polishing to the back. Its bezel shows fairly mild to moderate signs of previous polishing. On the wrist, it presents as scratch-free.
Its untouched original dial has become slightly tropical giving it a true vintage look.
One of our Master Watchmakers, who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealer and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center to be an authorized Rolex watchmaker, has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components with genuine Rolex parts including a new tube and crown that screw down very well, installing a new mainspring, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $1295 value).
It is running very strong and true, keeping essentially on par with a new Rolex watch in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Note: A published example of this model can be found in Osvaldo Patrizzi's work Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches, 2001 Edition, Guido Mondani editor, Vol. 2, pg. 39.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts.

IWC PORTOFINO Ladies Quartz Stainless Steel Watch, Ref. IW4531 - Original Papers & Booklets
Gorgeous Condition - Original Papers & Booklets - 1 Year Warranty
Today's offering showcases this very fine IWC Portofino ladies watch in gorgeous condition with original papers and booklets.
In design and construction it is very similar to the Portofino's available new today.
As the IWC website states, "Over the past three decades, the Portofino watch family has established itself as one of IWC Schaffhausen's most successful families and is equally popular with both men and women. This is due to both the steady demand for classic models and the puristic design of the Portofino models.
The origins of the large minimalistic case design for the Portofino can be traced back to the 1970's, when the Lepine pocket watch became the inspiration for the entire watch family. The 'pocket-watch-style-wristwatch' was presented in 1984 with the name 'Portofino'. Since then, this watch family, with timepieces that retain their value and, above all, remain timeless, has been a permanent part of IWC's collection."
Powering it is one of the company's quartz movements that never needs to be wound.
We are pleased to offer it in such gorgeous condition - it presents as a 9.6 out of 10. Our photos couldn't quite do it justice. Its case and dial present as mint. On the wrist it presents essentially like new.
A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing. For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a new leather strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

1991 Tudor (Rolex) Prince Oysterdate Vintage Mens Ref. 74000 Watch

1991 TUDOR (Rolex) PRINCE OYSTERDATE Vintage Mens Ref. 74000 Watch - Stainless Steel
Rolex Case, Crown & Bracelet - Gorgeous Original Condition - 1 Year Warranty
More and more collectors are becoming acquainted with watches from Rolex's Tudor brand, creations which have become increasingly more collectible. Watches in the Tudor line, apart from the fact that they utilize ebauche movements, are similar to those of Rolex in design and construction.
When Rolex launched the Tudor brand in 1945, they strongly intended that the public perception of its quality had to equal that of Rolex. To achieve this lofty aim, until the mid-1990's, Tudor watches featured Rolex cases and crowns, and, until 1971, Rolex bracelets.
An advertisement in Britain's Horological Journal in vintage times stated that Tudor's were, "Manufactured under strict Rolex supervision and bear the Rolex label of guarantee."
The Prince Oysterdate comes across with a feeling of familiarity to many watch collectors because of its connection to Rolex. While those connections have faded a bit in recent years, this 74000 was birthed at a time when the two brands were bonded together a lot more closely than they are today.
Patterned after the Rolex Oysterdate, one of the company's staple models, it is thinner and of course a bit more affordable than its Rolex sibling. However, it has two more desirable features than a Rolex Oysterdate - this Prince Oysterdate has a movement that is automatic, unlike the Rolex, and it has semi quick-setting, also something that Rolex Oysterdate's didn't have.
This 74000, which plays sort of a transitional role in what was Tudor's growing independence from Rolex, is indicative of the period when the two giant watch brands functioned as best friends.
Today's auction showcases this Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned Tudor Prince Oysterdate in gorgeous original condition.
The watch itself has all of its original parts.
Its original Rolex Oyster case presents in gorgeous mint condition with only very slight signs of previous polishing. Its case presents nearly like new.
Its untouched original dial is mint with beautifully toned luminous. The original luminous in its hands perfectly matches the pips.
As I mentioned, until 1971 Rolex fitted Tudor watches with true Rolex bracelets - the exact same ones that came with their Rolex branded watches. Though this watch would have come with a Tudor bracelet, it has previously been upgraded to a full Rolex bracelet made in 1971, the last year that a Rolex bracelet would have been correct to fit on a Tudor watch.
A Master Watchmaker has freshly overhauled the watch, and it has also been examined by our Master Watchmaker who worked for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
It is running exceptionally strong and true, keeping time better than many new Tudors and Rolexes in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. As mentioned one used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership.
