It's 18k white gold, solid "braided" style band to match. Face says Gigandet on top, 21 Jewel on bottom.

Has four diamonds with gold "leafs" on each to look like flowers on the top and again on the bottom.

It looks to be about 3/4 inch across whole watch and 1/2" crystal face.

Very fancy enggraving.

I have many other pictures as well.Watch face

Any ideas, or maybe another picture? It was purchased from they heirloom case at a fine jewely store. Their appraiser isn't too skilled with mechanical watches this age, and he had never seen one like this, especialy with the little diamond flowers on top and bottom. He was almost useless, just knew it was worth allot more than I was paying, and it still wasn't cheap.

Oh, on the back it says the 18k and right below it, 0.750

Nothing else.

Please help

It's a common early 1960s style ladies watch, without any collector interest. Value would be near that of the 18k gold & stones, so hopefully you didn't pay a lot.

$1500, too much? They were originally asking $2800.

$4-600 is more like it, but you'd need to weigh it. It isn't worth more than the gold.
