This was a gift to my mother from my father, no additional information available as my parents have long passed.

It does look very similar, the bracelet shown is different but the face is quite similar. Any idea of it's value other that the sale price on the advertisement shown?

Joanne, unfortunately we do not evaluate or provide valuation appraisals on watches.

It looks close to a Goddess of Time but I could not find an exact match.

Jim, do you have an image of the Goddess of Time.

Here is a Goddess of Time form the 1930's. Close by not exact. Stylistically the watch looks to me like a 1930s model. Makes me wonder if the watch had a movement replacement at some point.

I spent a lot of time looking for this girl last night and couldn't find a match. I don't think that advert matches either Jim. I don't think it matches DuBarry either although we don't have a very good advert.

Joanne - repairing and servicing the watch is a possibility if you're interested in wearing it as a tribute to your mother

Welcome to myBulova and thank you for sharing your watch with us, it is a lovely heirloom for you. I just love anything in rose gold!! I do not think this is the DuBarry as I have seen what I do believe to be that model before and it does not match is one. The Goddess of Time is also not an exact match in my opinion. I will look a bit more but for now it is Unknown to me.
