Zenith platinum & diamond watch - c1940s

Description

This is a beautiful Zenith ladies vintage watch, dating from the 1940s and in very excellent all-original condition for a watch of this age. The watch is very high quality throughout and features a beautifully decorated solid platinum case, set with 22 glittery high quality diamonds, an original winding crown, a very clean original dial (brighter and cleaner than photographed), an original solid white gold bracelet and a high-grade Zenith hand-wound 17 jewel movement. The movement has just been cleaned and oiled by a professional watchmaker and is in good working order. The watch comes complete with a new, quality presentation case for wrapping as the perfect gift.

You can feel confident buying from me - I offer a full refund if you are not entirely happy, as long as the watch is returned within seven days if UK customer, fourteen days if overseas, in the same condition. I also provide a full receipt, six months guarantee (long enough for you to assess the working order) and a professional insurance valuation. I also welcome you to come and view the watch at our central London address, in the New Bond Street area. I offer my customers online prices - well below value - with offline availability and service.

The solid platinum hinged case is in excellent condition - amazing for its age - and is set with 22 glittery genuine diamonds. The diamonds are very high quality, as you would expect from Zenith. The sides are beautifully decorated and the case measures 18.5mm wide, excluding the original signed winding crown x 27.5mm long, including the lugs. The back closes correctly on a hinge and the outside back is signed ‘Zenith’, ‘319’ and ‘Platinum’.

The original, unrestored dial is in very clean, bright condition and features solid white gold applied numbers and batons. It is signed ‘Zenith’ and ‘Swiss made’. The original solid white gold hands are in excellent unbent condition, and the lens is very clear.

The original high grade hand-wound 17 jewel movement is in excellent clean condition, and is signed 'Zenith’ 'Swiss made’, ‘17 Jewels' and the ‘534561’ movement reference number. The movement has just been cleaned and oiled by a professional watchmaker and is in very good working order for its age.

This lovely watch is on its original solid 9ct white gold bracelet, which is fully hallmarked. The bracelet is in very good condition and the strap and watch measure 168mm from tip to tip, with two length adjustments at 152mm and 148mm. The watch comes complete with a new, quality presentation case, for safekeeping and for easy wrapping as a gift to truly remember.

A superb collection-standard vintage watch from one of history's most famous names; full of charm and elegance. Will provide an excellent financial investment as well as a possession to enjoy.
