Vintage Nivada Boutique Ladies Tank Watch Red Dial Stones Swiss Manual 17J 23mm

About this watch

A striking vintage Nivada "Boutique" ladies' tank watch. The dial pairs an orange-red centre panel with a black border set with a frame of small clear stones, signed "Nivada", "BOUTIQUE" and "SWISS", with gold hands and no hour markers. The rectangular gold-plated tank case has the classic rounded side bars and a ribbed crown with a black cabochon, on a steel snap-on caseback stamped with the Nivada "N" shield logo. Inside is a Swiss hand-wound mechanical movement signed "Seventeen 17 Jewels Swiss". Circa 1970s.
