Watch Description

Yellow Gold Case with White Gold heart scrolls embellished with (2each) emeralds graduating into Lyrebird scrolled bracelet loops at each end, fitted with a Speidel gold plated bark finished over stainless steel 69 bracelet. Bulova Crown.  Face is silver and somewhat difficult to determine although there are gold studs at 12,3,6&9 positions and the remnants of numerals elsewhere. Gold Hands possibly "diamond" style.  "L6" on 23 Jewelled 5AD Movement, and L6 on 10kt Rolled Gold Plate case back along with serial number N74048.  Bulova Fifth Ave New York on inner case.  I believe this may be a 1956 La Petite, "G" 5313, which was noted on the "F" determination comments Bulova 1956 La Petite | myBulova.com  "in the 1958-1958 Linebook BAWD0136 page 18". The only thing that bothers me is the emerald stones in place of diamonds,

Linebook match for a 1956 Bulova La Petite "F" (white). Yellow version is the "G".

I believe the case is described as Yellow, which is a match to the "G" variant'
