Very Good Condition
This vintage Louis Vuitton Tambour 28mm watch is presented in very good condition, with light traces of use and a shiny stainless steel case with light scratches. Its red polka dot dial and matching patent leather strap make it a distinctive choice for lunches, gallery visits or adding a bold accent to everyday tailoring.

* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What makes this Louis Vuitton Tambour 28mm Watch special? A: Reference Q12M7 is commonly described on the secondary market as a Louis Vuitton x Yayoi Kusama Tambour, recognised by its red dial with white polka dots, diamond hour markers and matching patent leather strap. It is generally presented as a limited edition model, which adds to its collectable appeal.
Q: What size is the watch? A: The case measures 28 mm in diameter, giving it a compact and elegant look on the wrist. It is a good choice if you prefer a smaller watch rather than an oversized style.
Q: Is this watch quartz or automatic? A: This style uses a Swiss-made quartz movement, so it is battery powered and does not need manual winding for everyday use.
Q: Can the strap be changed? A: Louis Vuitton offers interchangeable Tambour straps across the collection, but with a vintage piece we recommend confirming compatibility with a watch specialist before buying a replacement. This example comes with a red and yellow polka dot patent leather strap and buckle closure.
Q: Is it water resistant? A: Louis Vuitton states that the water-resistance rating is shown on the back of the watch. Even if the case is water resistant, leather straps should be kept away from water, and prolonged immersion is not recommended.
Q: How should I care for this watch? A: Wipe the case gently with a soft, dry cloth and protect the watch from shocks, magnets, extreme temperatures and chemicals such as perfume or hand sanitiser. The leather strap should not be scrubbed or soaked, and it is best kept dry.
Q: Is this watch suitable for daily wear? A: Yes, it can be worn regularly, but as a vintage quartz watch with a patent leather strap and decorative finish, it is best treated with a little more care than a modern sports watch.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: According to our assessment, it is in very good condition with light traces of use. The case and hardware remain shiny with light surface scratches consistent with careful wear.
Q: What is included with this watch? A: This listing is for the watch only. No box, papers or other product information are included unless explicitly stated on the product page.
Q: How do you authenticate this watch? A: Every item at A Retro Tale is carefully checked by our in-house experts for materials, construction, finishing and brand details, so you can shop with confidence.
