Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
This wristwatch is a fashion accessory rather than a high-value collectible, but its Art Deco-inspired design gives it visual appeal. With a Japanese quartz movement, it would have offered reliability and affordability. Paul Jardin is not a high-end luxury brand, contributing to the modest value. Condition issues from wear and tarnishing on the band and case likely lower resale value.
