Omega
De Ville Automatic ladies', gold
This striking vintage Omega De Ville automatic watch is a gorgeous representation of late 1960s to 1970s Swiss luxury, emphasizing a cohesive, all-gold jewelry aesthetic. Housed in a perfectly circular case, it features a warm champagne or gold dial detailed with sleek, minimalist black baton indices and matching two-hand layout. Notably, it is marked as an "Automatic" timepiece, housing a remarkably thin self-winding movement that preserves a beautifully low profile on the wrist. The defining design element is its integrated yellow gold-plated or solid gold mesh bracelet, which features a fine bark-brushed finish that seamlessly blends into the architecture of the watch case to mimic a continuous, fluid ribbon of gold.

Catalogue note
Evoking the monochromatic luxury and fluid architectural forms of 1970s watch design, this ladies' Omega De Ville stands as an exceptional showcase of integrated metalwork. Moving away from traditional watch design, the circular champagne dial features an unadorned layout with simple baton indices to intentionally highlight the continuity of its finish. The watch is powered by a remarkably compact Swiss automatic movement, demonstrating Omega’s mastery in preserving an ultra-slim profile without compromising on self-winding utility. The crowning hallmark of the piece is its meticulously woven, bark-brushed yellow gold bracelet that transitions flawlessly from the round case, draping around the wrist with the suppleness of a precious fabric. It is a striking artifact from an era when the distinction between a precision instrument and fine sculpture dissolved completely.
