    Will need more photos, specifically the inside of the case and the movement.

    All I can say from this photo is late 1940s - 1950s with a poorly refinished dial.

    The serial number dates your watch to ca 1958.

    The case is 80 microns gold plated and the movement appears to be in very nice condition.

    If you plan on using the watch you should have it serviced.
