Oyster bracelet 7836

Probable

Folded-link Oyster bracelet of the 1960s and early 1970s. Folded links are formed from sheet rather than machined solid, which is why period bracelets feel light and stretch with wear — expected condition on a bracelet of this age, not a defect and not evidence of a copy.
