I don't have much information about this watch. It belonged to my grandmother. It's gold (my guess is not just gold-platted). I'd like to know more about it. Not only its value but whatever information you can share about it. Thanks!

The second picture looks really cloudy but that's from the camera, not the actual watch. The watch is in great condition.

And I probably should've said vintage rather than antique.

It is of very low value, it's not gold and there is no demand for small ladies watches.

Thanks for the response. It is gold, though (I found out yesterday). Only the back is stainless steel. Any idea how old it is? 1960s?

Probably 1960s. When the back is marked "stainless steel back" the top is usually gold plated, not solid. Of course there are exceptions, but that's the general rule. Value is that of the gold.
