AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Antique wristwatch from the brand Le Griffon, equipped with a quartz movement, visible on the dial signed "Le Griffon" and "QUARTZ". The round dial features a cream background with a subtly wavy texture in its center, offering optimal readability thanks to large black Arabic numerals and thin, gilded hands. The inscription "France" also appears below the brand logo.

The case has a golden-looking finish, patinated and marked by visible wear, particularly on the edges and bezel, typical of prolonged use and a watch probably dating from the 1980s-1990s, consistent with the classic style and quartz movement. The winder is positioned at 3 o'clock, fluted, and the watch is equipped with an expandable bracelet with striated links, matching the color of the case, also marked by a patina and traces of oxidation.

The watch displays a sober and functional design, characteristic of classic French models intended for daily use at the end of the 20th century. The dial has no additional complications, reinforcing the clean and utilitarian aspect of the piece. The domed glass shows some traces of wear.

The inscriptions "Le Griffon" and "QUARTZ" are perfectly legible on the dial, as are the minute and hour markers. No other markings or logos are visible on the front face of the case or bracelet. The watch is photographed from the front, with no indication of the back or case back.

The general patina, oxidation marks, and visible scratches on the case and bracelet attest to prolonged use, giving this watch an authentically vintage charm, sought after by lovers of retro watchmaking and classic French watches.
