Vintage Hamilton Platinum watch

[butterfly 17]

Hi, putting out feelers for this as well.
This is a Vintage Hamilton Platinum watch. It is marked Platinum 900 and I believe it also says Iridium 100.
It is beautiful and unusual because it's the only Hamilton I have seen where the band is pure platinum, and goes halfway, the rest of the band is a black cord.All of the Hamiltons I have seen either have only the face in platinum and a black cord band or a white gold band. I have a new black cord and gray cord that I will include with the watch.
I don't know the carat weight though, but I do know they are all single cut diamonds.
The face of the watch is in very good condition, and I have posted pictures. The watch is also fully functional, has never been in water, etc.

I have another watch that I am thinking about listing as well, it is also Vintage with a platinum face and it has the full diamond box bracelet in 14 kt. white gold. The brand is Parker. It is a lot older than the Hamilton I believe, bc my jeweler said he could almost make out a date scratched into it with 6/01 or something. I think back in the day they used to scratch in when the watch was serviced.
I will post pictures of that as well.
Between the two watches I prefer the Parker watch, so whichever one sells first, I will keep the other.

I am asking $875 for the Hamilton and $1000 for the Parker. I am a fanatic about my stuff, so the watches are in excellent vintage condition.

I will post more details tomorrow, but if interested, please let me know here or contact me on one of my listings on DB.
Thanks!

i'm interested in the watches!! i'm trying to add to my collection i'm wondering if in your opinion this could be like a bracelet substitute? i'm planning on buying a tennis bracelet but want one with 20 pointers so have to save up. in the meantime maybe this is sparkly enough to do the trick? which of the two would you say is more blingy? and roughly what size are the melee? thanks!

HI, thanks for you interest. I think the Parker one is definitely a bracelet substitute as it has a full tennis bracelet, it's also more pave style, so the diamonds are closer together and make it more sparkly.

I took a few more pictures for you.

The Parker is definitely more sparkly than the Hamilton, but they are both gorgeous.

I took measurements of the melee-

Parker- All single cut diamonds
Bracelet 1.82 x 30 diamonds
Face- 1.21 x 36 diamonds and 2mm x 2 diamonds
Length is 7 inches
Face is Platinum 900 and Iridium 100

The Hamilton also has all single cut diamonds
Length is 6.75 inches, but I would include two new cord bands, one black and one grey
Around the face has 1.8 mm x 10 diamonds
The rest of the band and design have 2 mm x 24 diamonds

I louped all the diamonds and there are no chips or cracks in any of them in both the Parker or the Hamilton. All the diamonds are secure also.
There is milgrain throughout the entire bands and faces for both, although I guess with time, some of the milgrain has worn, but not really noticeable to me or I would of had it redone.

More pictures.

I tried to take a picture of the service date inscriptions. I think you can see them in the picture I posted below.
Lastly, both bracelets work perfectly. They were very seldom worn and when they were, I took great care with them.

thanks for all these pictures! could i trouble you for some of the parker watch on the wrist? so i can get some IRL perspective of how it looks on

Hi. I took pictures on my iPhone but they won't upload here.
Can you just contact me on one of my listings on Diamondbistro so we can be in direct contact and I can send you pictures directly to your email.
The bracelet is 2.5 ctw I believe. I can't remember what the exact weight is but I know it is over 2 carats and not quite 3.
I am guesstimating that the Parker is about 1.25 to 1.5 carats.
The Hamilton is about 1 ctw.
I did use a digital caliper to measure the diamonds so the sizes I posted are pretty accurate.
