Vintage Ruby and Diamond 18 Carat White Gold Retro Cocktail Watch, circa 1940's

About the Item

Complete your statement collection with this unique 1940's wristwatch that perfectly combines retro elegance with the striking brilliance of diamond's and the lively colour of rubies. This one of a kind watch was carefully crafted, with impeccable care to detail, in solid 18 carat white gold and showcases an unusual intricate design with great appeal. The intriguing timepiece features a delicate 13X6mm off-white dial which is decorated with black Arabic numerals and blued-steel dainty hands. Bordering the rectangular face at the top and bottom there are thick bombé rims encrusted with alternating rows of old cut diamonds and vibrant red round rubies, followed by horn shaped sections, also decorated with old cut diamonds and round rubies, which perfectly connect the bracelet to the case. The piece is further fitted with a flexible high-polish white gold snake chain bracelet secured with a cleverly set hidden box clasp and safety chain, and measures 6.5 inches in length. Decorating the bracelet of the watch and the clasp are 10 rubover set round cabochon rubies and 6 baguette cut rubies, evenly spread on either side of the case, bringing the total weight to approximately 2.00ct combined. Together with the 6 old cut diamonds highlighting shyly on the clasp, the total carat weight of the diamonds is estimated to be approximately 2.20ct combined. It is powered by a manual wind movement and tested 18 carat white gold. A magnificent piece that is the ideal choice for women who appreciate an authentic and sophisticated retro look. Tobi Gem Setting has specialised in antique, designer, pre-loved, new and bespoke jewellery since 1980 and is based on London's iconic Hatton Garden.
