Description from the seller
ANKER pocket watch, German manufacture, dating from the mid-20th century (approximately 1950s–1960s).
The gold-toned metal case features rich ornamental engravings on both the front and the case back, with floral motifs and a central decorative emblem, typical of European production of the era.
The engraved gold dial is adorned with Roman numerals and black, shaped hands; the ANKER signature is visible.

• Case diameter: about 33 mm (excluding crown)
