Women's vintage mechanical Joker rectangular gold-plated watch to restore

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Joker brand mechanical watch for women, presented here in an elegant case. This antique watch features a rectangular case with sharp angles, with a gold-plated finish visible on the front. The design incorporates large, sculpted strap lugs, adding a touch of originality and refinement typical of women's watches from the mid-20th century.

The rectangular dial has a light background with a railroad minute track and gold Arabic numerals for each hour. The name "JOKER" is clearly printed below the 12 o'clock marker. The baton-style hands are also gold, in harmony with the case and the winding crown on the right. A central second hand completes the time display.

The case shows a beautiful patina and some signs of oxidation or wear, particularly on the lugs and around the bezel, which attests to its authenticity and age. No strap is visible in the photo; only the watch with its case and dial are presented.

The watch is placed in a multi-angled box, covered in dark brown faux leather with visible gold topstitching. The interior of the case is lined with cream velvet. The inscription on the inside lid of the box reads "D'ELG FOWAQ 1038P", but no further details about the exact origin of the box are legible in the image.

This vintage mechanical watch is intended for restoration, showing a cosmetic condition consistent with an antique piece. The ensemble offers a beautiful example of a retro women's watch, both a period jewel and a timepiece to be revisited.
