Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
1927
This elegant ladies' bracelet watch by Cartier and the European Watch & Clock Co. features a rectangular design indicative of high-jewelry horology. The watch is constructed from platinum and features a dial signed "Cartier" with classic Roman numerals.
The bezel is set with single and circular-cut diamonds, totaling approximately 5.50 carats. A striking feature of this timepiece is its integral bracelet, composed of French-cut onyx segments bordered by rows of single-cut diamonds, creating a high-contrast geometric aesthetic. The movement is signed by the European Watch & Clock Co. and is a manual-wind caliber. The watch measures approximately 19.5 x 13.5 mm for the case, with a total length of 6 7/8 inches and a gross weight of 42.2 grams.
It bears a French assay mark and case numbers 19119 and 13352. The case back features a personal inscription, "K.S.K 1927." Please note that the piece shows evidence of previous repairs, including a replaced crown and crystal, a likely reprinted dial, and a bracelet that has been reconstructed.
