Long Description
This watch looks to be a rose colored gold. frame around the face is silver in color. the inside face is a rose color, or light pink maybe with the numbers 3, 6, 9, and 12 in roman numerals. The rest of the numbers are just like gold dots. I haven't cleaned this item due to the fact that I'm not sure how to. The band has several marks on it as you can see from the pictures. On the face of the watch it says: Solvil, and under that it says Paul Ditisheim, and under that says Geneve. The watch is rose gold colored, and very beautiful.
History
This watch belonged to my grandmother. It was found in her estate along with many other vintage and antique items. I don't know ther year in which she came upon it. Actually, I know nothing about it except that she had it in a jewelry box along with her very expensive costume jewelry. The jewelry box had fallen apart mostly. Looked to be antique also.

Here is a link for you about the company: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvil_et_Titus . But you really need to have this piece physically appraised by a watch specialist.
