Women's vintage Judex mechanical watch, gold dial, to restore

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old mechanical watch from the Judex brand, for women, highlighted by a square dial with a patinated gold hue. The dial is signed "JUDEX" at the top center, with the mention "STANDARD" below the central axis. The typography and the layout of the Arabic numerals are reminiscent of watches from the 1940s-1950s. The seconds display is integrated into a sub-dial located at 6 o'clock, also graduated. The visible hands are stick-shaped, dark in appearance, contrasting with the dial's background.

The case has a slightly curved rectangular shape, with prominent angles, and a silver metallic finish. The surface of the case shows scratches and traces of use characteristic of an old object. The winding crown, positioned on the right, is round and appears gold-colored.

The pronounced patina of the dial, with oxidation marks and visible aging, attests to the item's age. The hour markers are printed in black, as are the graduations of the seconds sub-dial. No strap is visible in the photo; only the case is presented, placed on a light stand with decorative elements in the background.

The general style, the dial's typography, and the case's shape place this watch in an aesthetic typical of the 1940s to 1950s, with a strong retro appeal. The watch is intended for restoration or display in a vintage watch cabinet.
