Description:

Orfina automatic (self-winding) 41J Deluxe with date wrist watch, case #25785, rose-gold flashed nickel movement with bold red ruby jewels and a gold balance wheel is highly jeweled with small rubies set into the pawl-wheels in addition to the the standard pivot-set ones expected on a jeweled movement, we did not disassemble the movement to count them all but at a glance it is quite likely this movement does have the 41J as marked, gold-toned metal dial with a brushed finish and a raised gold ring segmented with a mark at each hour position in lieu of numbers or traditional markers, date aperture at 3 o'clock displays red Arabic numbers on a white background, dial does have a few small specs but no heavy scratching or damage, sleek gold steel wedge-style hands and a gold sweep second hand.

Heavy rose gold plate (RGP) & stainless steel (SS) smooth polish water-resistant asymmetrical case in a stylized shape of a triangle with slightly bowed sides, on the left side are 2 classic extended lugs while the right side has hidden lugs, chrome crown and a slightly domed plastic crystal with a magnifier section over the date, case is showing normal to moderate wear overall with a few small scratches of note, however the rose gold plating is very worn over most of the case and only remains in good condition on the top of the bezel, measures approx. 38mm wide x 38mm lug to lug x 10mm thick (crystal included), deeply textured, lightly padded dark brown leather strap band. An interesting vintage 1950's-era watch from a small family-owned watch company still in business today, with an eclectic mix of quality ranges contained in a still eye-catching case despite the wear, in very good overall condition!
