- Movement and Escapement
- The timepiece is powered by the Girard-Perregaux caliber 3387, a self-winding mechanical movement. The caliber is rhodium-plated and features decoration in the style of fausses cotes and oeil de perdrix. It is equipped with 63 jewels and a straight-line lever escapement. Additional features of the movement include a monometallic balance, a shock absorber system, and a self-compensating flat balance spring. To ensure operational efficiency, the movement includes a hack mechanism and an 18K pink gold deployant clasp is paired with the case. Energy is delivered via a 21K gold rotor. The movement, alongside the dial and case, is signed by the manufacturer.
- Case and Dial Construction
- The watch is presented in a three-body 18K pink gold case, finished with both polished and brushed surfaces. The case measures 43 mm in diameter and 13.5 mm in thickness, utilizing sapphire crystals on both the front and the transparent case back, which is secured by six screws. Design features include a rounded bezel and concave lugs. The watch is operated via two crowns: the crown at 9 o'clock serves to rotate the city disc, while the crown at 3 o'clock manages time setting and the adjustment of the day/night function. The dial is designed in a bicolor white and black scheme, incorporating applied luminous pink gold indexes and a white gold Arabic 12. Chronograph utility is provided through subsidiary dials for constant seconds, 12-hour, and 30-minute registration. The world time functionality is facilitated by an outermost revolving disc marked with 24 world locations, paired with an inner white and black ring featuring painted Arabic numerals for a 24-hour display. Luminous pink gold feuille hands indicate the time.
