AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Women's watch by Henry Castignac, visible on the dial. This model features a distinctive octagonal shape, uncommon in classic women's watchmaking. The dial has a clear finish, with dots marking the hours. The inscription "QUARTZ" is also visible, indicating a quartz movement (battery not tested, as specified in the original keywords).

The dial's edge is distinguished by a faceted bezel with a glossy black appearance, adorned with golden geometric patterns highlighting each facet. This contrast between deep black and golden accents gives the watch an elegant and retro look, reminiscent of 70s-80s styles, although the exact date of the item cannot be precisely determined.

The setting crown is positioned at 6 o'clock, an original detail that reinforces the identity of this model. The case has a metallic finish with a golden appearance. The whole is highlighted by natural light, revealing a uniform patina as well as slight traces of use on the dial surface and bezel, typical of a vintage item.

The watch is photographed without a visible strap. Only the case and bezel are visible, placed on an ornate golden display case, which emphasizes its decorative and precious character.
