This elegant Bueche-Girod reflects an era when Swiss watchmakers produced beautifully crafted ladies' watches that blurred the line between fine jewelry and fine timekeeping. Fashioned in solid 14K gold and bejewelled with a full factory set diamond-set bezel, it possesses a refinement and quality that are immediately apparent on the wrist.

Bueche-Girod spent decades producing watches for the American market, often focusing on elegant precious-metal designs such as this one. While not a household name, its watches earned a reputation for refined styling and dependable Swiss craftsmanship.

The rectangular case is graceful without feeling delicate, while the softly toned dial and diamond-set bezel lend the watch a luxury elegance. The integrated bracelet completes the design beautifully, giving it the cohesive appearance of a purpose-built luxury piece rather than a watch fitted to a bracelet as an afterthought. It wears as comfortably at a formal occasion as it does as an everyday piece of very fine jewelry.

The watch's solid 14K gold construction adds another dimension to its appeal. Beyond its elegant appearance, the precious metal gives it an intrinsic value that has endured for generations. It lends the watch a reassuring sense of substance and permanence that complements its refined Swiss craftsmanship. And given the gold weight of the watch, approx. 15 grams without the movement, we are offering it at a bargain price.

It presents beautifully on the wrist.

It case lugs show one small reinforced area and one indention toward the end of lug. Otherwise, it presents in excellent condition. Please inquire if you would like one of our Master Jewelers to perform any work.

Its complementary champagne dial is original and untouched with light aging. It is difficult to see aging with the naked eye - our highly magnified photos dramatically increase the look. Please inquire if you would like it restored.

Its Swiss movement is working well. Photos of the inside available upon request.
