- Case and Dial Construction
- The Reverso Duetto is characterized by its rectangular, reversible case design. The primary dial displays Arabic numerals and is decorated with a geometric engine-turning pattern at its center. This decoration serves as a texture on the dial surface rather than a representation of the watch's movement. The secondary side, denoted as the night dial, features a mother-of-pearl disc. The housing is secured with a sapphire crystal. While the source describes the case material as 9-carat gold, there is no evidence provided in the images regarding hallmarks to confirm this composition.
- Movement and Functionality
- The watch is identified by the source as having an automatic movement. Information regarding the specific caliber or the mechanical operation of the reversible housing is not provided within the documentation. The listing identifies the watch as a Duetto model but notes that the presence of two dials does not confirm independent dual time zone functionality. The watch is specified as not water resistant.
- Provenance and Documentation
- The watch is listed with the stock code WA-JA-9001. The documentation includes references to an accompanying strap made of crocodile leather and a gold deployant clasp. The auction description reports the inclusion of boxes and papers; however, the source notes that the original factory status of these items and their specific alignment with the watch has not been independently verified.
