Object description

Case and Exterior Construction

The wristwatch features a tonneau-form stainless steel case with a circular bezel opening, measuring 34 mm according to the auction listing. A winding crown bearing a signature mark is positioned at the 3 o'clock edge. Bonhams lists the individual case number as 2110002 and states that the case and dial are signed.

The watch is mounted on a stitched black leather strap described by the auctioneer as 'Black Revue Thommen leather', secured by a 'Signed, polished buckle'. The reverse of the case is not depicted in the available catalog photography, leaving any caseback inscriptions or finish unrecorded by direct inspection.

Reported Movement and Documentation

According to Bonhams, the movement is a '17-jewel MSR Cal.K1 manual wind' caliber. Because internal movement photography is not provided in the auction catalog, the caliber designation, mechanical layout, and condition cannot be independently verified from visible imagery.

The catalog records serial number 1038/4999 and notes a date of 'Sold 28/1/1998'. Accompaniments documented with the lot include a 'Revue Thommen box, outer card, Guarantee and Authenticity Certificate, polishing cloth'.

Open research questions

  • What markings, reference stamps, or serial engravings are present on the exterior or interior of case back No. 2110002?
  • Does direct examination of the movement confirm the MSR Calibre K1 designation and 17-jewel specification reported by Bonhams?
