Beautiful watch!  Does the case say Bulova anywhere?

I don’t see BULOVA anywhere on the case. My husband found the number I didn’t even see that.

Thank you for the reply.  The number your husband found looks like a servicing number a jeweler used to record it being serviced.  I suspect the serial number was on the outside of the case at one time.

The Year of manufacture can be identified by a small symbol which should be located in the highlighted area of the image.

That is a real beauty! Ad referenced above confirms it's "all Bulova", but no name. We have so far been ID'ing these jeweled solid gold watches as

Model  Cocktail   in an effort to keep them all grouped in the database

Great to see it in the metal.  I am unsure of the date but Bulova Cocktail watch is a good match.
