Tissot 9k Gold Stylist Ref. 1061 11001 - c.1970's Vintage Dress

Tissot Stylist - 9k gold case - c.1972 by hallmark

Sorry This Watch Is Now Sold

A beautiful testament to Tissot's perpetual reputation as a quality watchmaker, this 9k gold Stylist does what Tissot do best: finding beauty in simplicity. The dial features a horizontal silvery brushing affect, and gently chamfers downwards around the edges. The hour batons are raised from the dial's surface slightly, and feature jet black strips in their centre, making for a legible and striking texture to the watch face. The hour and minute hands are a razor-thin pencil design, also jet black. 

The date eye at 3:00 has a subtle gilt surrounding and faintly bevelled edges. The solid 9 Carat gold case is an elegant dress design with straight lugs and a thin, chamfered polished bezel. The dial is signed Tissot / Stylist and features the Tissot 'T' below the 12:00.

What's on offer

This is a stunning example of a solid gold vintage dress watch, with an attention to detail and elegance which wasn't always typical of watches of this era. The case is hallmarked .375 (9 Carat gold), and was made by Shackman and Sons of London: a reputed case-maker of the time. By these hallmarks, the watch is verifiably a London import, and can be reasonably accurately date to 1972.
