his elegant Tudor ladies’ wristwatch is housed in a solid 9ct gold case, fully hallmarked for Chester, 1960. The case was manufactured by Bracebridge & Sons (B&S), one of the leading British case makers commissioned to produce gold cases “Made for Rolex” and Tudor watches for the UK market during the mid-20th century.
Featuring a classic minimalist dial and a reliable calibre 1155 manual wind movement, this timepiece combines Tudor’s Swiss watchmaking quality with the understated refinement of a gold British-made case. A fine example of Tudor’s early ladies’ watches, it offers both vintage charm and collectable appeal.
This is a watch with a story: a Swiss Tudor movement, finished to Rolex standards, sent to England to be housed in a premium British gold case, and sold through a UK jeweler. A truly classic piece from the golden age of watchmaking.
