Appears to be a 1959 Rhapsody with the original bracelet and box.
Purchased on eBay years ago, because it was just too cheap to pass up. Bracelet isn't in great shape, but its all in one piece. The 23 jewel 5AD movement seems to run well. I can't seem to find a date on the movement itself. Case is 10kt white gold plated and shows pretty nicely.
Not sure what I'll do with it, or if I'll just hang onto it longer.
Great looking watch and wonderful to have the original bracelet and box. I had to go to the 1960 Linebook to find this model. In 1960 it was designated a 1959 Bulova Rhapsody "FF". I am not sure if it had a different variant designation in 1959 but feel good about giving this a FF variant.
Very cool model.
