I'm no professional but I too had a mystery watch and I searched to the end of Google and back lol! Anywho I came across a thai auction site and that particular watch was referenced as nivarox/nivaflex. In seeing that I searched "Nivarox" and found these sites: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nivarox http://www.ablogtowatch.com/inside-nivarox-the-heart-of-the-swiss-watch-industry/ Hopefully this helps you in your search to also find where "Malvita" fits! Also AF is English and French - Avance/Fast. RS , by the same token, means - Retard/Slow.

There is one on eBay, brooch style of that brand but not much info on it https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Solid-935-Silver-Marcasite-17J-Malvita-Nivaflex-Ladies-Nurse-Brooch-Watch/113882334117?hash=item1a83ea83a5:g:J5cAAOSwLKZddKU6 Nivaflex is the alloy most frequently used for mainsprings in high-quality watches. At least two more here https://instappraisal.com/appraisal/marcasite-vintage-watch https://instappraisal.com/appraisal/vintage-17jewel-watch-malvita
