The watch has a pale pink lace-print strap with a round face showing a Barbie portrait — small enough to wear, functional enough to actually tell the time. The doll herself wears a powder-blue party dress with a wide white lace collar, a pink sash bow at the waist, and an upswept blonde hairstyle. A matching doll-sized version of the watch comes with the set so Barbie and her owner can coordinate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Party Time release was part of a Special Edition series that paired affordable play-line dolls with a bonus accessory for the child — in this case the watch, which used a standard quartz movement and requires a battery replacement after thirty-plus years but is otherwise a fully functional timepiece. The lace-strap design is very specifically 1994 in its aesthetic — the combination of pastel blue, white lace and a Barbie portrait dial belongs entirely to that particular mid-nineties moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mattel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indonesia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12243\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelody Likes box condition grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/MelodyLikes-Doll-Box-Condition-Guide_05303af8-20b2-4137-8091-87f3c51d9668.png?v=1773150063\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView our box condition guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mattel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47701370699966,"sku":"BARBIE-1994-PARTYTIM-DOLL0001","price":139.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/1994-barbie-party-time-doll-nrfb-front.jpg?v=1782213610","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/1994-barbie-party-time-doll-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
