Vintage Fendi Square Watch Patent Leather Strap Late 1990s Black

A silver-tone square case with an openwork ‘F’ at the edge brings a geometric clarity to this Fendi wristwatch, the black patent leather strap drawing a sharp line against the wrist. Serif ‘FENDI’ lettering anchors the dial’s centre, flanked below by a discreet ‘SWISS MADE’—details that situate this piece in the house’s late-1990s language of bold, architectural forms.

The watch is set on a black patent leather strap with a matching silver-tone buckle, engraved with the Fendi name. The case is stainless steel, its brushed and polished volumes marked by light surface scratching across the metal, while the strap shows minor wear. Inside, a single compartment is lined in pale beige leather.

This construction aligns with the late 1990s and early 2000s, during Karl Lagerfeld’s Fendi tenure, when the house’s accessories moved towards sculptural, logo-driven signatures—here, the squared-off ‘F’ at the case edge is a direct trace of that era’s visual order.
