Just wondering if anyone can help identify the year and model of this ladies watch? I believe it was my mother-in-laws, who was born in 1923 and spent a bit of time in Switzerland as a girl.
Thanks!

Just a guess: 1933...I would have guessed in the 1920s due to the lugs (what holds the straps) but given her date of birth I'm pushing the year up.

If you or a watchmaker can open the back, we can get the case and movement serial numbers, and tell you a lot more.

Hi again...I finally got the back opened...not that difficult, just didn't want to scratch it! The serial number is 836698. Also, marked 0,585 56 14 k with crown symbol. Is it possible that the watch could be a man's? It measures approx 2 cm across...a little large for a woman's watch in that era. The reason I ask is that it could also have belonged to her father, which would date it more likely in the 1920s. Any idea of value, era, etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
