Sold

“Wait, this dial used to be blue? ”


Case: The excellent 18k yellow gold case has previously been polished with sharp prominent bevels. The blue bezel insert has faded to a medium sky blue and shows light wear over all.

Dial: The ultra tropical nipple dial (the dial was blue from the factory) is in very good condition with patina showing around the edge of the dial. Just to the left of the 7 o'clock marker, there is a small bump visible.

Bracelet: The 10 link 18k yellow gold case is in excellent condition and has very light stretch for its age. The clasp is stamped with a 1986 date code.

Accessories: Box, hand tags, and papers and extra link (11 total)

Notes: The beautifully faded bezel and dial gives this all gold watch a light, fun, summery vibe.
