De Ville Classic Quartz 33 Stainless Steel / Yellow Gold / Silver / Bracelet

In Context

At 23 mm this is jewellery scale — a watch sized to be worn as an ornament rather than read across a room. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the mineral crystal sits between the two — harder to scratch than plexiglass, easier to chip than sapphire.

It is quartz, so it will hold time far more closely than any mechanical watch here, and asks for a battery every few years rather than a service.

7374.31.00 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver dial with a yellow gold, stainless steel case.
