Vintage Apex 18K Yellow Gold Pendant Watch – 17 Rubis Incabloc – Necklace Watch

A charming vintage Apex pendant watch crafted in 18K yellow gold, designed to be worn elegantly on a chain as both a functional timepiece and jewelry accessory. Dating to approximately the 1950s–1960s, this petite watch reflects the romantic jewelry-watch styling that became especially fashionable during the mid-century era.

The richly engraved case features delicate floral and foliate motifs throughout, giving the piece a timeless antique-inspired appearance. Its compact proportions and decorative bow top allow it to hang beautifully from a necklace chain, creating an elegant and feminine silhouette.

The cream-toned dial is signed “Apex 17 Rubis Incabloc” and accented with Roman numerals and black hands. The 17-jewel Swiss movement was considered a quality feature of the period, as jeweled bearings helped reduce friction and wear within the mechanism. The inclusion of the Incabloc shock-protection system reflects the advanced Swiss watchmaking technology of the era.

Pendant watches like this were often given as anniversary, graduation, or milestone gifts and remain highly collectible today for their combination of jewelry craftsmanship and classic horology.
