This rare vintage Seiko Quartz wristwatch is a striking fusion of fine Japanese craftsmanship and luxury gold artistry, custom‑adorned with natural 22K gold nuggets and diamonds in a floral motif.
Design & Craftsmanship
Each side of the watch band features a raised rose design, sculpted in gold with a natural diamond set at the flower’s center. The surrounding surface is textured with genuine 22K gold nuggets, giving the piece a rugged yet opulent aesthetic. The square‑shaped dial is framed by a nugget‑style bezel that complements the organic texture of the band.
The dial itself is a brushed gold tone, with minimalist stick indices and slender gold hands, maintaining Seiko’s signature elegance. The case back is marked:
BASE METAL ST. STEEL BACK 3421‑5299 R2 146750 and the inner band is stamped 10K, confirming the solid gold composition of the decorative elements.
