- Lot Description
Bulova 14k gold wristwatch – vintage rectangular men’s dress watch – mid-century American timepiece.
Description:
Presented here is an elegant Bulova 14K Gold wristwatch, a fine example of mid-20th century American horology that combines timeless design with the precision and reliability for which Bulova became world-renowned. Produced during the golden age of mechanical wristwatches, this piece reflects the sophistication and craftsmanship that defined the era.
The watch features a rectangular 14K solid gold case, complemented by gently curved lugs and a minimalist silvered dial signed “Bulova.” The dial design showcases refined simplicity with Arabic numerals at 12, 3, and 9 o’clock, raised gold dot hour markers, and a sub-seconds register at 6 o’clock, characteristic of Bulova’s 1940s–1950s styling. The gold-tone hands maintain excellent contrast against the silvered face, ensuring legibility and elegance.
The gold case, bearing serial number 6286078, is beautifully preserved with a warm patina, showing only minor surface wear consistent with age. The case edges remain sharp, underscoring careful preservation and limited polishing over time.
Accompanying the case is a matching gold-tone link bracelet, enhancing the watch’s luxurious presentation and period-correct aesthetic. The bracelet’s flexible weave construction ensures comfort while complementing the case’s refined geometry.
This Bulova model houses a manual-wind mechanical movement, known for dependable timekeeping and smooth winding action. The movement winds and sets smoothly at the time of cataloging, though long-term accuracy and power reserve have not been tested.
With its understated Art Deco influences and durable 14K gold construction, this Bulova wristwatch stands as a symbol of enduring craftsmanship and mid-century sophistication.
Value and Sale Information:
Bulova’s 14K gold watches from the mid-century period are sought after for their blend of accessible luxury, robust mechanical engineering, and enduring aesthetic appeal. This example’s rectangular design and solid gold case mark it as both a functional timepiece and an attractive collectible.
Comparable 14K gold Bulova wristwatches typically range between $550 and $950, depending on condition, movement type, and case weight.
This well-preserved example, retaining its original charm and fitted with a period-correct bracelet, is valued around $725.
