An exceptional estate Bulova wristwatch from the late 1950s, showcasing the refined design and dependable craftsmanship that defined the brand's mid-century era. This self-winding timepiece features a 23 jewel automatic movement, an original silver sunburst dial, applied gold-tone hour markers, and gold dauphine hands.
The gold-filled case gives the watch warm vintage character, while the stainless steel back adds durability. Its classic mid-century proportions and elegant dial layout make it a strong example of vintage Bulova dress watch design, equally suited for collectors, daily wear, or formal occasions.
Fitted with a later genuine lizard leather strap, this watch retains the sophisticated look that works so well with mid-century pieces while remaining honest to its estate character.
