Design & Construction
From Van Cleef & Arpels’ “La Collection” series, this 31mm 18K yellow gold wristwatch balances jewelry-house refinement with the ease and accuracy of a Swiss quartz movement. The dial is executed in white enamel and laid out with a restrained mix of black Roman numerals and stick hour markers, framed by a clean inner minute track. Black pencil hands maintain crisp legibility, while the dial is subtly signed “Van Cleef & Arpels Paris,” with “Swiss Made” placed below the VI.
A synthetic sapphire crystal protects the enamel dial, and the caseback is secured by six screws—an approach consistent with the series’ practical, well-finished construction. The matching 18K yellow gold bracelet is composed of richly textured, tessellated marquise-shaped links that read as jewelry first and watch bracelet second, giving the piece its distinctive Van Cleef & Arpels identity. The bracelet closes with a double deployant clasp and is signed, as is the dial, clasp, and inner caseback, with additional VCA engravings and Swiss hallmarks confirming precious metal manufacture.
About Van Cleef & Arpels Watches
Founded in Paris in 1906, Van Cleef & Arpels is best known for high jewelry and design innovation, and its watches reflect that same priority: precious materials, elegant proportions, and bracelet work that often blurs the line between timepiece and wearable jewelry. “La Collection” pieces in particular are appreciated for their clean dial architecture and strong gold presence, paired with reliable Swiss quartz calibers that deliver accuracy without the requirements of winding or mechanical servicing cadence. This example’s ETA 256.041 movement (five jewels) provides dependable everyday performance, while the full 18K gold construction delivers both visual richness and intrinsic material value.
Condition Notes
The watch is in excellent overall condition with surface scratches on the bezel consistent with normal wear. The synthetic sapphire crystal shows minor abrasions and one more noticeable diagonal mark near the 6 o’clock position. The watch is currently running and retains a handsome vintage character suitable for regular wear.
Kept in its original vintage condition. Can be polished and serviced upon request.
Measurements: 31mm case diameter; bracelet length 6 inches.
