This watch stands out not only because of its fresh to the market condition, but also in virtue of its very rare combination of a minute repeating mechanism and an up-and-down or power reserve indicator concentric to the subsidiary seconds. Of highest quality it is moreover fitted with a very attractive gold dial with Breguet numerals, the original certificate and box and preserved in very good, original overall condition.
