Vintage 1940s Bulova Art Deco 14K Gold Filled Rectangular Men’s Watch

Case size: approx. 18mm x 24mm (excluding crown).

This is an authentic mid-20th century Bulova men’s wristwatch, produced during the classic Art Deco era (circa 1938–1948).

 The watch features:

Genuine 14K Gold Filled Case bearing original Bulova signature (confirming period correct material)

Rectangular Art Deco design with crisp angular lines and an elegant aesthetic

Small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock — a hallmark of fine manual-wind watches of this period

Hand-winding mechanical movement — runs when wound, though recent servicing is recommended for accuracy

Original Bulova “Fifth Avenue New York” presentation box, adding strong provenance and display value

This watch is a fine example of vintage American horology — ideal for collectors or as a period dress timepiece. The combination of the original box and distinct 1940s design makes this a standout piece for vintage Bulova enthusiasts.

Condition: 

Working when wound, but not keeping accurate time — recommended service for daily wear.

Age-appropriate wear: Some patina and surface marks consistent with 80-plus years of history.

Box included: Original Bulova box increases collectibility but shows its natural age.
