Catalogue note

Representing the apex of mid-century evening jewelry, this rare vintage Omega lady’s timepiece beautifully illustrates the historic convergence of Swiss horology and high-fashion goldsmithing during the 1960s and 1970s. While Omega is globally renowned for its utilitarian chronographs, this dress reference showcases the maison’s mastery of the montre bijou (jewelry watch), defined by its distinctive sunburst halo of graduated, brilliant-cut diamonds and an impeccably fluid, hand-woven white gold mesh bracelet. These delicate cocktail watches were produced in limited quantities for exclusive retail salons, making well-preserved examples with unpolished, integrated bracelets highly coveted by collectors today. This lot stands as both a precision mechanical instrument and an elegant artifact of an opulent era in luxury design.
