Object description

Case and Dial Construction

The Reverso Duetto is characterized by its rectangular, reversible case design. The primary dial displays Arabic numerals and is decorated with a geometric engine-turning pattern at its center. This decoration serves as a texture on the dial surface rather than a representation of the watch's movement.

The secondary side, denoted as the night dial, features a mother-of-pearl disc. The housing is secured with a sapphire crystal. While the source describes the case material as 9-carat gold, there is no evidence provided in the images regarding hallmarks to confirm this composition.

  • “صفحه موسوم به «شب» دارای دیسک صدف است”

Movement and Functionality

The watch is identified by the source as having an automatic movement. Information regarding the specific caliber or the mechanical operation of the reversible housing is not provided within the documentation.

The listing identifies the watch as a Duetto model but notes that the presence of two dials does not confirm independent dual time zone functionality. The watch is specified as not water resistant.
