What a beautiful little watch! I've looked through all of our ads but don't see a match. From this period I would expect it to be a variant of the La Petite series.

For now, Unknown.

Agree with Geoff, Unknown. I would expect to see a date stamp on the caseback during this period; or is this case so ornamental and detailed that it is not made by Bulova?

Unknown, I do not think that belong to La Petite series, on the photo to not recognize if they are on case some diamonds and how much

So 1962 came from the M2 on the movement?  
The count of diamonds sometimes helps w/ ID of these nice Ladies models. 
Was there anything stamped on the inside case back?

Unknown...but still looking.

We often see solid gold cases lacking a date stamp. Although the serial number on the case looks to begin with a 3 (1963) which would tie in with a 62 movement.

I'm heading down the Bulova La Petite path as well as the likely candidate. This watch has all the right components to make it part of that series.

Tentative La Petite for me. Variant unknown.

This appears to be a La Petite "LL". based on the 1962 Line Book BAWD0148B page 23

1961 La Petite "LL" works for me.
