“Yves Saint Laurent” 80’s-90’s coin edge quartz leather watch

From Yves Saint Laurent, who united fashion and elegance and brought intelligent, supple innovations to 20th-century fashion, we are pleased to present a timepiece that embodies classical poise on the wrist.

With an ivory-colored dial, Roman numeral indices, and a discreet Cassandre logo, this piece presents a clean, refined visage, while the finely etched coin-edge bezel adds a striking texture.

The rounded case, with the soft luster of a gold-tone, conveys a jewelry-like radiance, yet its size balance is not overly ostentatious, allowing it to naturally harmonize with everyday attire, offering an elegant presence.

The dial is designed to make the most of its negative space; the black Roman numerals preserve legibility while creating a classic tension, and the Cassandre logo positioned at 12 o'clock subtly adds the brand's refined elegance, allowing the watch's practicality as a timepiece to coexist beautifully with its beauty as an accessory.

Moreover, the crown is set with a black cabochon, serving as a small embellishment that connects the gold-tone case to the black leather strap, lending a sense of depth to the overall impression. The strap is made of glossy embossed leather, which reveals a three-dimensional expression when it catches the light, quietly infusing the dress-watch's restrained sophistication with the sensual mood that Yves Saint Laurent is known for.

Regarding the era, this piece can be identified as produced under a Japanese license by Citizen in the late 1980s to around the 1990s, based on the JAPAN marking on the case back, the GN 4W U case code, the model-number system beginning with 4625, and the BASE METAL stamp. The design, not bearing the contemporary SAINT LAURENT PARIS inscription but built around the Cassandre logo, is also an important factor confirming this time period.

The charm of this piece lies not in being merely a licensed watch, but in translating the decorative elements of a French maison into the practical construction of a Japanese-made quartz movement; the bezel's fine ornamentation, the intellectual presence of the Roman numerals, and the contrast of black and gold combine to leave a definite sense of refinement on the wrist, even though it is small in size.

It is especially recommended for those who seek accessories that quietly enhance the overall outfit rather than bold jewelry, and it can beautifully add a touch of classic tension to daily wear or subtly elevate the sheen of a jacket-style look.

In terms of styling, pairing it with a wool jacket or a drapey shirt naturally enhances the intelligent and elegant mood that Yves Saint Laurent embodies; when added to simple dresses or tailored trousers, it creates a refined wrist accent that transcends gender. Although a small accessory, it coordinates the overall impression of the outfit, quietly bridging classic and fashion.

Please take advantage of this opportunity.
