Lot Essay

Delivered with original fitted red leather and gold tooled presentation box containing a spare crystal and spare mainspring.

This particularly large and very beautiful watch was evidently inspired by the watches of Abraham-Louis Breguet. The combination of pink gold and silver is very elegant as is the fine engine-turned silver dial. Preserved in very good overall condition the watch is furthermore sold with the original fitted box, spare crystal and mainspring.
