The Ref. 823 was first released in 1947, as a regular hunting case with a variety of decorations available.

The decorations on the watch could vary from miniature scenes, portraits, champleve patterns, and other engraved decorations. Some watches are only decorated on one face while others have both watch faces decorated.
