Women's Charles Caral vintage gold square dial watch to restore retro
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
Women's watch by the brand Charles Caral, featuring a square gold-finished case and a light dial with black Arabic numerals. The dial displays the signature "Charles Caral" visible at the top. The time display is classic, with three central hands, although the precise details of the hands are not fully visible in the photo. The case has a right-angled contour, typical of retro or vintage style watches.
The visible strap is dark-colored, with a texture suggesting a grained or reptile effect, and a matte finish. The pin buckle is in a gold tone, matching the case. The overall look is sober and elegant, characteristic of women's models from past decades. The watch stands out for its rectilinear appearance and the color contrast between the light dial, the gold case, and the dark strap.
The dial is protected by a flat crystal, and the setting crown, located on the right side of the case, is also gold-colored. No additional decoration or pattern is visible on the front face, giving the watch a clean look. The general style, the handwritten signature, and the case format suggest production likely from the late 20th century, which corresponds to the "vintage" and "retro" denominations in the keywords.
This Charles Caral women's watch is aimed at enthusiasts of antique watchmaking or those looking for a piece to restore, with the mention "à restaurer" (to be restored) indicating that refurbishment will be necessary for optimal functioning. The visual highlights the patina and charm of age, with slight apparent wear on the strap and case, typical of watches that have passed through several decades.
The watch is photographed in natural light, accentuating the golden reflections of the case and the texture of the strap. No additional accessories or original box are visible in the photo.
Condition
Used item, sold as is. Signs of wear and patination are visible on the case and strap. Restoration or mechanical overhaul is to be expected.
