This is a really classy, very old beautiful ladies Art Deco wristwatch. The movement is an Invicta, but not the same Invicta you see today. It is a 16 jewel and is not running, but can be made to run. There are 84 round old Mine Cut diamonds, set into the top of the watch, and there are also 18 French Cut natural mined from the earth blue Sapphires, not the real dark ones, either, but nice color. I am estimating the diamond weight to be under a carat, but over 3/4 carat.
Th dirty brown you see around the crystal is old crystal cement, which will definitely clean off once the crystal is removed, and this is put in an ultrasonic style cleaner. I do not have one, aymore, since I retired.
The watch measures 1.33' in length and .785" wide, without the crown. This is a solid feeling watch, guaranteed and tested to be Platinum. The case weighs over 3.5 grams, alone, without the movement. It probably had a black ribbon band, so that's an easy type to replace. No damage to the lugs at all.
What I like is that it is not your everyday rectangle or square Deco platinum watch, but has a classy shape to it, and very old!
