Vintage Ladies Cocktail Platinum Dress Watch W/ Diamonds & Rubies

1920s–30s Arba Watch Co. Ladies Tank Dress Watch — Platinum with Diamonds and Rubies

A beautiful Art Deco era ladies dress watch in full platinum, with a tank-style case and integrated bracelet design. The platinum bracelet carries over 5CT of mine-cut diamonds with stunning rubies laid into each link. The white dial features Arabic markers and spade hands and is left unbranded — these watches were produced by private watchmaking firms and supplied to retailers for their own branding, and this example never received a stamp.

Condition

The platinum case is in good, clean condition with a few dings on the case back — nothing noticeable or detracting from the watch overall. The dial and spade hands are clean. The acrylic crystal is in good condition with scuffs here and there, as expected given the material and age. The manual wind movement has been serviced and is running strong.
