Watch Description

14K Solid White Gold.

50 diamonds in case. Told by jeweler that they are all 0.1 in size, but I have my doubts as he also told me the case was 10K gold, when it is clearly marked as 14K. If true then total diamond weight for case is 0.5ctw.

Wow, that's a fabulous looking watch. Does Maria get to wear this one?

That's the annoying part. The other watch we have on site was presented in a La Petite box. The owner didn't make any comment about the box being original, but one very likely candidate for a model would be the La Petite.

I would lean towards the LaPetite

Finally found the Bulova Line Book that lists with watch as a La Petite "T".
