Details

A Distinctive Statement From Van Cleef & Arpels

The Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Dress is a testament to the jeweler's approach to watchmaking, where elegance and precious materials take precedence. This 1993 example, confirmed by Van Cleef & Arpels' own records, showcases a sophisticated blend of 18K yellow gold, a radiant champagne diamond dial, and a truly unique bezel. It represents a period when the brand crafted timepieces that were as much a piece of haute joaillerie as they were a functional watch, designed to complement formal attire with undeniable presence.

The Artistry Of The Sapphire Bezel

What distinguishes this specific Lady Dress is its bezel, meticulously set with alternating pink and green sapphires. This detail elevates the watch beyond a simple gold and diamond piece, adding a layer of color and bespoke craftsmanship that is characteristic of Van Cleef & Arpels. The champagne dial, accented with diamonds, provides a harmonious backdrop, ensuring the vibrant bezel remains the focal point while maintaining a refined aesthetic.

Good Condition With Original Elements

This 18K yellow gold example is in good condition. The case presents well, complementing the champagne diamond dial. The yellow gold bezel, set with its pink and green sapphires, is very nice. It is paired with its original strap and buckle, contributing to its overall authenticity. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

An Elegant Choice For Any Occasion

This watch is for the individual who appreciates the subtle luxury and artisan craftsmanship of Van Cleef & Arpels. It moves effortlessly from a day at the office to an evening event, making a sophisticated statement without needing to be overtly flashy. The combination of gold, diamonds, and the distinctive sapphire bezel ensures it remains a timeless and versatile accessory, embodying the enduring appeal of fine jewelry watches.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
