What a beautiful watch. Congratulations on owning such a wonderful piece.

So the strap clasp is 14K, but does the case also indicate 14Kt anywhere. I think the platinum have the gold combo for front and back, but I could be wrong.

Hi

It is a very beautiful watch, my wife loves it . The 14K version was listed at $150 which is very close to $3,000US in today's dollars.

I have checked the upper part of the case inside & out & there is nothing written on it.  The colour, texture & finish of the upper part exactly matches that of the Platinum lower section so I can only conclude that the upper section is Platinum as well.
