This charming ladies watch is in excellent original condition and is still fitted with its original bracelet as well.
We seldom see these truly vintage watches with original spring loaded link bracelets that still function well.
This watch was produced by Racine, a small but prestigious house based in Le Locle, however the Racine's were involved in many different watch factories. They have a long history going back to the 1700's. The watch and bracelet are inlaid with Niello, which is an ancient technique similar to enameling. However, instead of "melted" glass, it is "melted" metal, in this case done as a "Greek Key" motif. The watch keeps dependable time and you can wear and count on it to get you there on time.

Ollendorff 56 Diamonds 2.0cttw Platinum Art Deco Ladies Wristwatch Circa 1920s
Located in North Attleboro, MA
This is a WOW, WOW... WOW!!!
Absolutely stunning Art Deco platinum and diamond Swiss-made, spring-wound wristwatch by Ollendorff circa the late 1920s! It's not just a timepiece, it's a gorgeous, luxurious and hand-crafted piece of historical fine jewelry. 56 diamonds, 2.0cttw. With its tiered rows of 16 round-cut glittering diamonds reaching from either side of the platinum case to the lugs, the design was likely inspired by the iconic terraced crown of the Chrysler Building in New York City. If the diamond and platinum case weren't luxe enough, the original watch band is comprised of two buckles set with 10 diamonds, leading to 30 chevron-shaped platinum links with milgrain detailing, each set with their own diamond as well! The watch has a total of 56 diamonds for approximately 2.0cttw. This watch is a sparkling show-stopper, a rare piece. Total length of 6.75 inches; suggested maximum wrist circumference is 6.5" for a comfortable fit. Links could be removed by your local jeweler if you prefer a smaller circumference.
* Swiss movement
* Model number 10456
* Seventeen jewels. The watch is fully jeweled, meaning that the watch uses jewels (in this case rubies) as bearings in the inner mechanical movement from the balance wheel all the way to the center wheel pivot.
* Inside of caseback marked .900 PLAT .100 IRID
The watch was serviced by a master watch craftsman in 2016. Runs and keeps time; please note future performance cannot be guaranteed due to the age of the piece.
