Fine Ladies Platinum & Diamond Lafond Art Deco Wristwatch Ciny
Regular price
$2,088.00
Presented is a gorgeous, platinum and 14 karat white gold Lafond woman’s wristwatch. Virtually the entire watch is platinum. Originally, when this piece
was made, the entire watch was platinum. At sometime, the original platinum back
piece of the case must have been lost. The back panel of the case was replaced
with a 14 karat white gold piece. This spring ring on the safety chain is also
14 karat gold, although the chain itself is platinum. On the entire watch band
and watch case these two pieces of metal are the only things that are not
platinum.
Both the engraved case and the openwork, linked band are set with diamonds.
The case has three diamonds on either end and the band has a total of 28
diamonds. The Swiss made, 17 jewel mechanical movement is running well. The
movement itself is signed Ciny Watch, obviously the maker of the movement. The
clasp is very secure and has a safety chain for added security.
The clasp is marked platinum. Both the case and the band have been tested and
are guaranteed to be platinum. The back of the case is marked 14K. This is the
only piece that is 14 karat gold. The face is marked Lafond.
This piece is in great, running condition. There are no missing stones, no
breaks, no splits and no repairs.
The inside circumference of the band is 6 inches.
The entire watch weighs 18.1 grams. The platinum case and platinum band without the movement or gold back panel weight 12.7 grams. The gold back panel weighs 2.2 grams.
