I believe that the information shown in this table explains the pricing of the watch and the bracelet. The bracelet contains 73 grams of gold; the watch case (without movement) contains 48 grams of gold; so the ratio is exactly 1.5-to-1 . . . thus we understand why the bracelet sold for 1.5 times the price of the watch itself (for example, in 1974, the Carrera sold for approximately $750, while the bracelet alone sold for approximately $1,125). The jeweler who assisted me with these measurements also pointed out that the workmanship in the bracelet far exceeded the workmanship in the case itself.
