About the Item

A breathtaking throwback to the bold elegance of the 1950s, this vintage cocktail wristwatch is the perfect retro statement piece in every way. Powered by a manual wind movement and masterfully crafted in 9 carat yellow and white gold, this exquisite timepiece combines functionality with the refined beauty of fine jewellery. At its heart is a delicate rectangular white dial measuring approximately 11.8 × 10.2 mm, adorned with black Arabic numerals and a pair of slender blued-steel hands. The dial is framed by 12 square baguette cut rubies, six to the right and six to the left, totalling approximately 0.50ct. Their vivid red hue adds a lively burst of colour that plays beautifully against the warm gold tones. Above and below the dial, rounded stepped ridges in yellow gold bring a sculptural element to the design, showcasing the bold curves and geometric styling that defined mid-century luxury. Accentuating the case are swirled white gold panels, each pavé set with rows of shimmering eight cut diamonds, estimated to weigh approximately 0.75ct in total. Completing the design is a flexible gas pipe-style link bracelet, known for its graceful movement and elegant structure. It fastens with a secure fold over clasp and creates a fluid, articulated silhouette that wraps effortlessly around the wrist. Finally, the piece has a gross weight of 34.23 grams, measures 7 inches in length and is stamped 375. A true work of art, full of detail, texture, and vintage charm, ideal for collectors or anyone looking for a truly unique timepiece. Tobi Gem Setting has specialised in antique, designer, pre-loved, new and bespoke jewellery since 1980 and is based on London's iconic Hatton Garden
