A graceful example of mid-century American watchmaking, this 1951 Bulova women’s cocktail watch blends delicate Art Deco styling with timeless sophistication. The sculpted rectangular case is crafted in 10K gold-fill, giving it a rich luster that has beautifully endured over seven decades.
The silver-tone dial features raised gold numerals and indices, paired with elegant dauphine hands that reflect Bulova’s meticulous attention to detail. Its petite profile and domed crystal evoke the refined elegance of postwar design — perfect for both collectors and those drawn to understated vintage jewelry.
