With a solid 18k gold bezel and a more patterned dial, this Ladies Ebel Classic Mini makes for an interesting watch. Model reference E 1157111.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
We have found similar models in the books, but they all have a dial without the Ebel symbol logo, and that was phased out circa 2002. without further evidence we are thinking this was was made circa 2001, which also makes sense with the wave pattern on the dial as we explain below.
CONDITION
This Ladies Ebel Classic Mini has a natural competitor, the Omega Constellation 22.5mm, but is less than half the price without dropping any quality. Both have a two hand quartz movement, 18k gold bezel, unique bi metal bracelet and look great, so it is down to personal preference then. Fitted inside the steel case is a Ebel 157 movement, a calibre shared only with Cartier and is nicely finished despite not being visible. The movement on the Ebel is accessed via the front, and we will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner. The bracelet is one of the best designs and quite long, and our sister website, SpareLinks.com, may have extra links if required. The bracelet has light scratches but the way that Ebel apply the gold parts lower down in the bracelet the gold is not marked. The nearest comparable new ladies Ebel is £2,595, further showing what good value these can be as a pre owned watch.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
