From our Estate Collection, this extraordinary Hamilton vintage high jewelry diamond bracelet watch is one of the most spectacular examples of mid-century platinum watchmaking. The round platinum case features a dramatic hinged cover that opens to reveal a silver-tone dial, concealed beneath a breathtaking diamond-set curved cluster-style bezel. The fully articulated platinum bracelet tapers elegantly and is lavished throughout with one hundred nine baguette cut diamonds in channel and bezel settings, thirty-three round brilliant cut diamonds, eight marquise cut diamonds, and two pear shaped diamonds — a total of 10.10 carats of diamonds across the case cover and bracelet. Circa 1950s, in G-4 average condition.
