Judy,

It is pretty, but are many caveats buying such watches. Case and works may not start life together.

Most important identifying material is back of works inside case: type escapement, etc.

This one not have anything to do with 17th century. Possibly made first half 19th century. If face original, possibly a little earlier.

Nothing to do with Asian art. If want detailed comments must consult watch expert, possibly through reputable auction house.

Good luck,
Cal
