Object description

Case and Dial

The timepiece is housed in an 18-karat pink gold case. The dial is described as multi-tone and displays Breguet numerals for the hour markers, contributing to its overall aesthetic. The watch functions as a triple-calendar, utilizing apertures for the day and month, while an additional hand indicates the date on the outer edge of the dial.

The small seconds display is positioned at the 6 o'clock mark and features a snailed pattern. The dial shows a patina that has developed over time, which is attributed to its history of use throughout the decades.
