Vintage Raymond Weil 651-2 Tank Turquoise Black Dial 25mm Manual Wind Watch Box For Sale

Striking colour and sculptural detailing define this vintage Raymond Weil Genève reference 651-2. Its turquoise-green and black split dial is divided by a vertical row of sparkling decorative stones, creating an expressive composition within a compact rectangular case.

The gold-tone case features beautifully modelled rope-pattern sides and extended corner details. Two pointed gold-tone hands float over the uncluttered dial, while a dark cabochon crown and textured black leather strap complete the design.

Dating approximately to the late 1970s–1980s, this Swiss-made watch belongs to Raymond Weil’s early era. Established in 1976, the brand developed a distinctive approach to shaped watches and artistic design. This example brings that character to the wrist through its unusual colour combination and decorative casework.

At approximately 25 mm across, it offers the intimacy of a jewellery watch with a strong visual identity. Its appeal lies in the combination of expressive styling, traditional manual winding and compact vintage proportions.
