Women's Mary Hélène vintage gold quartz retro rectangular battery-powered watch

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Women's watch by Mary Hélène, vintage-inspired, with a quartz movement, shown here with a rectangular gold dial and slender hands. The glossy dial has a uniform, clear gold hue, with the "Mary Hélène" logo and "QUARTZ" clearly legible. The hour markers are discreet and minimalist, typical of the understated models of the late 20th century.

The watch is distinguished by its elongated rectangular shape, with slightly rounded corners, lending an elegant and retro aesthetic. The gold case has a polished appearance, with some visible signs of wear and micro-scratches on the surface, indicating previous use. The crown on the right side is also gold-colored and classic in shape.

The visible strap is dark in color, probably black, with a matte finish and a smooth appearance. It contrasts sharply with the gold case, enhancing the timeless style of the piece. The junction between the strap and the case shows signs of wear, with no major chips apparent on the exposed face.

The watch displays a retro style reminiscent of the 1980s-1990s, with a clean design and optimal legibility. No numbers are present on the dial, highlighting the minimalist inspiration. The mention "quartz" indicates battery operation, which needs to be replaced for it to work again (condition untested).

This piece is ideal for daily use or to complement a vintage look, thanks to its classic appeal and bright gold finish. The dial remains legible despite the presence of superficial scratches and reflections on the glass.
