LE GANT 
21 Jewels 
Ladies Watch 
Swiss 
 
This is a nice timepiece—a vintage Le Gant ladies mechanical wristwatch from the 1950s. 

It is a manual-wind watch powered by a mechanical movement caliber UTC 228, featuring 21 jewels. This model is an elegant simplicity, with no second hand. 

The original champagne dial features gold Arabic numerals, gold hour marks, and matching gold hands. The dial is signed with the Le Gant name at the top and "21 Jewels" at the bottom. 

Cased in 16.3mm gold-tone tonneau case with 10K rolled gold plated and stainless steel back. The crystal shows some age. 

It comes fitted with the original Gemex flex textured bracelet in 10K yellow gold filled top and made in U.S.A. It fits small wrists up to 5 1/4 inches (13.4 cm). 

This wristwatch is running smoothly and keeping excellent time.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size. 

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust the lighting, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.  

The condition is pre-owned.   
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. 
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.  
 
It will be carefully packed.
