A spectacular heirloom from the height of the Art Deco era. This elegant ladies’ mechanical cocktail wristwatch by Benrus features a beautifully detailed, geometric octagonal case beautifully adorned with intricate period engraving along with bezel and dial face.
The case is stamped inside as 18K gold reinforced with metal, providing the rich, deep luster of solid 18-karat gold with excellent structural durability. True to the premium styling of the 1920s, the winding crown is set with a striking, vibrant blue cabochon stone. Inside, the watch is powered by a high-grade, 15-jewel mechanical Swiss movement.
Adding immense historical value to this piece is its highly sought-after, original Peerless “Wearpruf” filigree link watch band. Made in the USA, this patented vintage bracelet features ornate metalwork that seamlessly complements the aesthetic of the watch case while incorporating an advanced safety design.
