Vintage 1950s 14K Yellow Gold Gubelin Bow-Tie Ladies Watch with Leather Strap

Gubelin produced this fourteen-karat yellow gold ladies' dress watch in Switzerland during the 1950s, fitted with the house's signature bow-tie lug design that arcs the strap attachments into sculpted leaf-form terminals. The round case houses caliber 976, a hand-wound Swiss movement, beneath an acetate crystal. A silver-white satin dial carries ten doormat-style stick markers and two arrow indices at twelve o'clock, all in gold tone, signed Gübelin above center. The watch sits close to the wrist and reads as a discreet dress piece, compact enough to slip under a cuff, with just enough presence from the bow-tie lugs to keep it from disappearing entirely.
