Art Deco Platinum & Diamond Cocktail Watch | c.1930s | Original Manual Wind | Approx. 2.5ct Old European Cut Diamonds

An exceptional Art Deco diamond cocktail watch dating to the 1930s, beautifully crafted in platinum and professionally tested to confirm its purity. Preserved in its original form with a working manual-wind movement, this elegant timepiece is both a fine example of Art Deco design and a highly collectible piece of jewellery.

The elongated rectangular case embodies the distinctive architectural elegance of the Art Deco period. Clean geometric symmetry, graceful proportions and finely hand-engraved detailing create a refined aesthetic that remains timeless nearly a century later.

The watch is lavishly set throughout with natural antique Old European cut diamonds, creating remarkable brilliance from every angle. Two principal diamonds measuring approximately 5 mm each form the visual focal points of the design, complemented by four additional diamonds of approximately 2.7 mm and numerous smaller antique-cut diamonds meticulously pavé set throughout the platinum case.

A delicate rose-cut diamond is beautifully set into the crown, providing an elegant finishing detail rarely found on period wristwatches.

With an estimated total diamond weight of approximately 2.5 carats, this piece perfectly combines the artistry of fine jewellery with the craftsmanship of traditional Swiss watchmaking.

The original black ribbon strap is fitted with its original adjustable clasp, allowing a comfortable fit while preserving the watch’s authentic character.
