Tiny little Women's Art Deco style rolex- Any info please?

My mother purchased this watch at a high end jewelry store in Manhattan in the late 1960's or early 1970's and wore it almost daily for the next 40 years.

It still works just perfectly!

I have searched the internet up and down and not seen another Rolex like it.

Does anybody here know anything about it or have a name or model number??

I want to get some more info on it before i pass it on as a family Heirloom.

I would never sell it; but any opinions on its ballpark value?

I've seen a lot of Rolexes, a lot, I've never seen anything like that. Interesting

My wife had a similar watch passed down from my mother in law. You should be able to find a serial number on the case, which you can get an approximate year. From the info that I gathered most of those ladies watches are not a lot in demand and are typically only worth whatever the gold price is at the time.

Serial numbers on non oyster cases are irrelevant in serial number lists.

It's 60's most likely.

It's kind of worth....melt.

It's a cool cocktail watch.

Thanks for the info... the name cocktail watch actually helps at least i can google and see other like it and with the same case...

On further inspection all though it does wind and does work the winding mechanism is a bit bent when pulled out and twisted and feels like the gears may be missing sometimes when winding.

Are parts available for this? who could I send to to get it fixed?
