This exceptionally sophisticated vintage dress instrument is a striking Swiss artifact from the 1980s, as verified by the model reference SW-211 and serial number 9N0563 stamped across the stainless steel caseback. Founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1868, the historic Swiss house Aureole has long been celebrated for crafting high-elegance timepieces with exceptional dial finishing. This reference houses a precise, ultra-slim Swiss quartz movement, providing effortless maintenance-free accuracy and daily performance.
The case architecture is wonderfully geometric, featuring a gold-toned cushion-style tank case with integrated hooded lugs that flow seamlessly into a matching gold-tone woven mesh bracelet. The dial is a true masterclass in texture, displaying an intricate champagne-gold radiating tapisserie/waffle pattern that plays dramatically with light under different angles. It is beautifully finished with applied gold-toned baton hour markers, sharp dauphine hands, a quickset date window at 3 o'clock, and the classic oval Aureole emblem.
