For your consideration is this exquisite Citizen Quartz Cocktail Watch in superb vintage condition. This isn't just a timepiece; it is a piece of jewelry history. Featuring a stunning "Gold Dust" or "Bark" textured finish on both the case and the integrated bracelet, this watch catches the light beautifully from every angle.
As a collector and enthusiast, I have personally ensured this watch is ready for a new home. It has been fitted with a fresh battery and is currently keeping excellent time. The movement adjusts smoothly exactly as it should.
Key Features:
Design: Elegant champagne dial with minimalist baton markers and the classic Citizen Quartz "CQ" logo.
Finish: High-quality gold-tone plating with a rare, shimmering textured effect that rivals the luxury aesthetics of top-tier Swiss brands.
Condition: Beautifully preserved. As a "New Old Stock" style piece, the plating remains vibrant and the crystal is clear.
Reliability: Quartz accuracy—the set-it-and-forget-it reliability that made Citizen a world leader.
While I take great pride in my collection and strive for perfection, please remember this is a vintage item.
Disclaimer: This is a vintage/antique timepiece. While it is currently working and tested, vintage electronics and seals can be delicate. I am an enthusiast, not a commercial jeweler, so I provide detailed photos and videos to serve as the primary description. Please do your own research and study the photos closely. If you have any doubts or need specific measurements or more angles, please message me before buying. I am always happy to help a fellow enthusiast!
I treat every item with the respect it deserves. Things can occasionally go wrong despite the best intentions, but I am committed to a great experience. As a small token of appreciation, I try to include a free gift with every purchase. If you see an extra item in your package—don't worry, it's a "thank you" for supporting a fellow collector!
Estimated Value: £65 – £95 ($85 – $120)
Collectibility: High. Citizen "CQ" models with unique textures (like this bark/gold-dust finish) are increasingly sought after by those who appreciate "Neo-Vintage" aesthetics.
Rarity: While Citizen produced many watches, finding this specific textured integrated bracelet in such clean, working condition is becoming rare. It offers "top brand" luxury looks for a fraction of the price.
