Authentic mid-century cocktail watches like these are increasingly hard to find as a matched pair, and the diamond-set ribbon shoulders and woven mesh bracelets are exactly the delicate details collectors and vintage bridal buyers hunt for. Sold as an estate lot, this pair is ideal for a collector willing to service them, a jeweler needing diamond-set cases, or a stylist sourcing genuine 1950s glamour. Priced as untested estate jewelry, so the upside after a simple movement service is significant.
