Lot Essay

Highly appealing, the present timepiece is a very well preserved example of an Axes chronograph in 18K pink gold. Encompassing a complete calendar as well as chronograph and a moon phases feature, the watch retains attractive proportions as well as sharp and well defined edges. Furthermore, it shows a crisp hallmark to its case back and to the band.
