​Step back into mid-century American elegance with this vintage 1958 Bulova 23 Jewels dress watch. Featuring architectural finned lugs, a textured sector dial with sub-seconds, and 10K rolled gold plate case, it is a standout piece. 

Founded in New York in 1875 by Joseph Bulova, Bulova became a titan of American watchmaking innovation. In 1954, Bulova introduced its legendary "Bulova 23" line—a flagship series of self-winding and manual-wind dress watches powered by American-made 23-jewel movements (most notably Cal. 10BPAC/10BP), adjusted to six positions, heat, cold, and isochronism. The "L8" date code stamped on the 10K Rolled Gold Plate back explicitly dates this piece to 1958. This model is celebrated by collectors for its ornate "finned" or "art deco" step lugs and engine-turned textured dial ring.
