Welcome and thanks for sharing your wonderful solid gold  heirloom with the group. Based on this ad in the 1955-1957 Linebook, it's a 

1953 Bulova Debutante "G"

The dial configuration is different, but I suspect it's a year of production thing, as the illustration is from 1955.

I cannot find an ad for this model, but the pricelists show the same #5126 model number in 1954 as Dolly Madison "W".

Debutante "G" shows up in 1955.

Since we don't have an ad for the Dolly Madison, Debutante "G" may work. 

Dial of watch does not match image and the two ridges on the bezel seem closer together on the actual watch.

The 1957 Linebook BAWD00132 shows a match to case and dial as a Debutante G.
