Ladies' gold wristwatch, round, mesh bracelet
This vintage Omega Ladies Cocktail watch from the 1960s is a masterpiece of mid-century jewelry and Swiss watchmaking. Its most striking feature is a multi-faceted "Saphette" diamond-cut crystal that mimics the brilliance of a gemstone by catching and reflecting light at every angle. The minimalist, yellow gold-tone dial features classic baton hour markers and the iconic Omega logo, enclosed in a polished round case with a matching fluted crown. Flowing seamlessly from the case is an integrated woven gold mesh bracelet, creating a luxurious, fluid look on the wrist that transitions perfectly from a precise timepiece into a piece of fine evening jewelry.
