Untested vintage mechanical women's rectangular retro Art Deco style watch

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This item is an antique mechanical women's watch, with a distinctive rectangular shape, visible on the front face. The case features strong geometric lines, with a visually golden finish and herringbone patterns, characteristic of Art Deco style. The dial, under a slightly tarnished crystal, displays elongated line markers, enhancing the elegant and refined aesthetic. The lugs are integrated and openwork, suggesting a design intended for a wide strap, typical of some creations from the 1930s-1950s.

The dial shows no legible brand or logo, and the hands appear to be absent or difficult to distinguish in the photo. The surface of the case shows traces of oxidation, scratches, and a uniform patina, indicating prolonged use and natural aging. The decorative patterns on the front, composed of golden triangles, give the whole a very pronounced retro look.

This mechanical watch has not been tested and its functioning is not guaranteed. No movement or technical inscription is visible on the exposed part. The object is photographed on a yellow armchair, which highlights the golden hue of the case and the contrast of the old patina.

The overall style, the absence of a visible brand, and the geometric design place this watch in a retro aesthetic, reminiscent of women's creations from the mid-20th century. The worn condition enhances the vintage charm of the whole, making the piece unique for any decorative display or for eventual restoration.

The watch is sold without a strap; only the watch head is present in the photo. Any additional details concerning the back, the mechanism, or the precise material are not observable in this view.

Condition
