Object description

Dial Configuration and Discrepancies

The white dial features a layout inspired by marine chronometers, showing a power reserve register positioned below 12 o'clock and a sub-seconds subdial incorporating a date aperture at 6 o'clock. Time is indicated by blued spade and skeletonised hands surrounded by an outer railroad minute track with circle accents.

Visual observation confirms applied rose gold-tone Arabic numerals on the dial. The seller's written description claims "18K rose gold Roman numerals", which directly conflicts with both the visible image and the record's primary observations.
