Lady's 14K White Gold watch with eight Diamonds. Movement stamped N 3, 23 Jewel 5AZ No ads found.
Lovely watch, you must have a hard time deciding which of your many solid gold diamond watches to wear.
Not finding a match though, but may need to dig deeper.
I could not find anything on this one. Beautiful watch but unknown for now.
Does this mean that the watch is a FRANKEN?

No, it just means that we have nit been able to find a matching advert and that all parts of the watch look correct to one another, which indicates its originality.
A 'Franken' watch is a watch made up of none matching or non bulova parts.
Still no luck finding a match; Unknown model for now.

Ken. I stumbled on one in the DB from 1961 and it was ID' ed as a La Petite without an advertisement. My two 1956 and 1973 are the same exact watch with different movement dates.
Interesting. This might indicate it is an older model with a replaced movement or a model they carried thru the 50's thru 70's. I still do not see any ads through.

No ads as of today, I have looked throughout the 50's, 60's and 70's ads and newspaper ads, none is listed. I have been searching on the newspaper site without any luck.
I believe the watch is from the early 1960's and would be in the Linebooks if there is a Linebook for the late 60's. (even maybe very late 50's. looking at the case design, the case design isn't from the 1970's) I also fairly certain both my watches has had a movement change.
Based on this search which lists ladies watches bewteen 1970 and 1975 with a case serial number starting with '66', Iwould like to suiggest that this watch is dated to around 1955/56.
