Introduction This elegant EBEL Beluga Tonneau Mini is a Swiss-made ladies’ quartz watch distinguished by its sculptural tonneau-shaped case, polished stainless-steel finish, and luminous mother-of-pearl dial. The dial is set with diamond hour markers, creating a refined jewellery-like appearance while retaining the clean, architectural character associated with the Beluga collection. Its compact proportions make it particularly suitable for a smaller wrist. Historical & Collector Value EBEL is a Swiss watchmaker founded in 1911 and is known for combining refined watchmaking with flowing, architectural case design. The Beluga Tonneau Mini is recognised for its curved case profile, integrated strap construction, and elegant two-hand layout. Comparable examples of reference 9656G21 are documented from approximately 2005 and 2009. The original warranty card included with this particular watch records a sale date of 29 January 2011. It can therefore reasonably be described as a model from the mid-2000s to early 2010s, with this example sold in 2011. The combination of a mother-of-pearl dial, diamond hour markers, original EBEL folding clasp, and dated warranty card adds interest for collectors of distinctive Swiss ladies’ watches.

The mother-of-pearl dial retains an attractive natural iridescence, and the diamond hour markers remain visually appealing. The leather strap shows significant deterioration, including cracking, peeling, discolouration, and wear to the surface. Replacement of the strap is recommended before regular use. The original EBEL folding clasp is included. The crown operates correctly, and the time can be adjusted normally.
