DETAILS
Listed is a beautiful Vintage Abra Watch Co Ladies Tank Style Dress watch made in full platinum.
The watch measures 14 mm without the crown and 24 mm from lug to lug. It features a tank style case with an integrated bracelet design. The bracelet is made of platinum as well, and features diamonds and rubies placed intricately throughout. This watch has over 5CT of mine cut diamonds, and stunning rubies lade in each link.
The dial is white dial with Arabic markers, spade hands, and is left unbranded. The crystal is a acrylic crystal. These watches were made by private watch making companies, and sent to retailers to then get their branding stamped on, this one was left unbranded.
The watch is powered by a Arba Watch Co. 17 jewels manual wind movement. It has been serviced, and is currently running well.
Condition is good. The case shows some small wear and tear consistent with age. The dial, hands, crystal, and case are shown clearly in the photos.
The watch comes on full platinum bracelet with diamonds and rubies throughout.
