This is a very fine and exquisite example of a ladies wristwatch made by the world renowned premier Swiss maker Vertex who were regarded as the top maker of platinum and diamond watch from the 1930s through to the 1950s . It has a platinum case surrounded by old European cut diamonds and then a mixture of baguette and old European cut diamonds to the lugs and the most beautifully designed fully articulated shoulders which simply glides around the wrist and is very much of the Art Deco era in design.   As you would expect from Vertex the diamonds are bright, crisp and evenly matched and has the total weight is approximately 2.5cts, the sparkle they generate is just stunning.   The two principle diamonds are a quarter of a carat each. It is attached to a brand new silk cord strap very much in keepeing with its age which can be adjusted to fit any wrist size of between 5 and 10 inches.  Amazingly it still retains its original solid 9ct gold clasp fittings and box.  The case is quite large measuring 19mm in diameter excluding the winding crown and total length of the diamond section is 77mm. It is quite stunning with a white dial which is in wonderful condition.  A new glass has been fitted and it has been cleaned and polished so it is absolutely pristine. The 17 jewel movement is an absolute gem, sparkling clean and in like new condition, this is a movement from the golden age of Swiss watchmaking. As you would expect from Vertex the watch is fully marked on the dial and movement.  Vertex are one of the most exclusive makers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance which resonates class, truly a piece of jewellery which will never date. Overall this watch is in beautiful condition and looks as if it was hardly ever worn, it would certainly make a perfect gift for any lady. It is rare to find a watch of the calibre in such top original condition. The watch has just been fully overhauled, restored and serviced and is guaranteed to be a genuine Vertex in all respects.
