Swiss vintage WILKA pocket watch K18 gold thin open face works well
SKU: 174437726
WILKA is a watch manufacturer founded in Geneva in 1902 by Wilhelm Kaufmann.
Since the company disappeared in the 1960s, it is not well known, but it seems that it was a first-class manufacturer that also made repeater watches.
This is a pocket watch with a thin 18K solid gold case with an Art Deco style design.
The bezel and bow are intricately decorated with niello inlay, and the back cover has a lattice design.
The year of manufacture is unknown, but judging from the design etc., it seems to be from the 1930s-40s.
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swing is good and it is ticking and moving well.
We hope this lovely antique watch will add some color to your day!
