Scarce Gruen "Cartouche 179" ladies Art Deco design wristwatch in solid 14K white gold with black enamel, circa 1928.

This elegant ladies' watch has ornate designs on the bezel inlaid with black enamel. It is in crisp, excellent condition showing only very slight wear. Enamel is superb and complete. Caseback is excellent and unengraved. The case measures 26mm long and 16mm wide. Has new glass crystal. Original inlaid enamel dial is superb. The watch is powered by its correct 15-jewel Gruen grade 833 manual wind movement. Vintage one-piece multicolored silk grosgrain ribbon is excellent, is sized to fit over a smaller hand (about 3-1/2" wide). Original white gold filled Gruen clasp is superb. I also have a black lizard-grain conventional strap available.
