Description

The case has some very minor dings and scratches from normal wear and tear but overall is an exceptional case with ormolu trim. The signed porcelain dial has a couple of hairline cracks at the center winding arbor; otherwise fine. The finely fretted, chased and gilt hands are original. The heavy solid plate movement is very robust, typical of French movements at that time. Height 40.5 inches
