Movement Reporting and Documentation

The auction description states that the watch contains '17 jewels' alongside the alphanumeric notations 'BI999A, F01417'. Because internal case and movement photographs are not provided, internal caliber stamps, mechanical winding system, and operational status are not recorded in this source.

The listing further notes that the watch includes a 'copy of appraisal' and is fitted with a 'genuine leather band handmade in France'. The seller describes the condition as 'Very fine', but this assessment is unverified by independent examination.

Evidence for this section
  • “17 jewels BI999A, F01417”
  • “Comes with copy of appraisal.”
  • “genuine leather band handmade in France”
  • “Condition: Very fine.”

Open research questions

  • What specific caliber number is stamped on the 17-jewel movement, and what is its winding mechanism (manual or automatic)?
  • Do the codes 'BI999A' and 'F01417' correspond to internal case references, serial numbers, or appraisal stock numbers?
  • What gold purity marks or manufacturer hallmarks are stamped on the interior or exterior of the caseback?
