Swiss Ladies' 14k Rose Gold Hunting Cased Pocket Watch

Partially verified

This object is a ladies' Swiss-made hunting cased pocket watch with a 33mm diameter, designated as 0 size. The exterior case is constructed from 14-karat rose gold, featuring hand-engraved scenes on both covers: one side depicts swans on water, while the other illustrates a house by a body of water. The internal dust cover (cuvette) is manufactured from a base metal rather than gold. The watch features a white porcelain dial with black Roman numeral hour markers and blued steel spade-style hands. Operationally, the movement is a Swiss-made mechanical caliber with a nickel finish and finger-bridge construction, described as fully jewelled. The watch employs a stem-wind mechanism and a lever-set time adjustment system. The item is reported by the source to be in fine running condition.
