Our Take
Established as late as 1976, Raymond Weil was entering the Swiss watch market at an innovative time and could only survive by being on top of their game and making a name for themselves, which they clearly did. The Geneve 2612 was an early model produced in the late 1980s as a gents watch but would easily pass off as a ladies today. The 18k gold electroplated rectangular case measures around 26mm in diameter and 34mm from lug to lug, it does show some wear and fading in areas. The gold dial with diamante, gold sword-shaped hands and quickset date at the 3 o’clock position are protected under a mineral crystal with minimal wear. The RW automatic movement with 17 jewels keeps good time. The gold crown may have been replaced at some point as it is unsigned. The back case is pitted in places but at least this is covered by your arm! Model number #2612. The original bracelet has been replaced with a new genuine leather bracelet and will fit a wrist of 7.5” or 19cm approximately. The watch comes without the original box or papers, but it will be accompanied by a gift box. Water-resistance is not guaranteed as this watch is not sealed.
