Women's vintage watch for restoration, rectangular dial, old retro style

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This women's watch features a rectangular design with a distinctly retro style, characteristic of vintage models. The silver-colored metallic case has a polished finish with visible reflections, highlighting a minimalist and elegant aesthetic. The rectangular dial is light in color, with discreet minute markers and fine indices, while the hands remain sober and classic. No logo or brand is visible on the front face, confirming a clean design. The dark-colored strap appears flexible and has a generous width in harmony with the case, evoking trends from the 70s to the 90s. The ensemble exudes a sophisticated look, perfect for daily use or as a style accessory.

The dial displays a simplicity typical of antique watches, with fine hour markers and an absence of apparent numerals, with the exception of a few discreet markings. The crown is classically positioned on the right side of the case, easily accessible for time setting. The general appearance of the watch reveals a patina and some signs of wear, indicating previous use and a certain age.

The surface of the case shows slight marks and scratches, typical of an old object needing restoration. The strap also shows signs of use, including slight wear visible on the exposed part. However, the ensemble maintains a beautiful aesthetic coherence, with a marked contrast between the shiny metal of the case and the dark shade of the strap.

This model, untested, is offered for sale as-is, ideal for a restoration project or to complete an authentic vintage look. Its timeless style and rectangular shape make it a sought-after fashion accessory, both for lovers of retro watches and for those who appreciate old pieces to be restored.

Did you know? Rectangular-dial watches were very popular throughout the 20th century, particularly in the 1930s and 1970s, periods when geometric and minimalist design was particularly in vogue. This type of dial, rarer than classic round shapes, is often associated with a quest for elegance and distinction in women's watchmaking.
