DESCRIPTION
A striking 1933 Bulova Art Deco wristwatch, this square-cased timepiece carries the bold architectural character that defines early Art Deco design. The warm two-tone champagne and rose-tone dial features a geometric Roman numeral chapter ring and a classic small-seconds subdial at 6 o'clock, all housed in a square 10K rolled gold plate case with a rich rose-gold tone.
Inside, a 17-jewel Bulova 10AN manual-wind mechanical movement powers the watch. Fitted with a later brown genuine leather Hadley-Roma strap, this piece presents cleanly and wearably while keeping the focus squarely on its original vintage design.
