- Case and Dial Design
- The reference 8060 features a two-body, polished 18K yellow gold case designed for concealment. The dial is protected by a hinged cover that opens to reveal the watch face, operated via a button on the side of the case. The exterior surfaces of the case and the integrated bracelet are decorated with a geometric pattern, set with diamonds that extend across the length of the bracelet and the back of the watch. The dial itself is finished in champagne and features painted baton indexes. The time is displayed using black gold baton hands. The winding mechanism is located on the back of the case, contributing to the streamlined, jewelry-oriented appearance of the wristwatch. The auction description reports the case as being in very good condition with slight scratching, while the dial is graded as very good.
- Movement and Escapement
- The movement is constructed with a lateral lever escapement, a monometallic balance, a self-compensating balance spring, and includes a shock absorber. The caliber is signed, consistent with the dial and case. Although the movement is currently in working order, the auction house report recommends an overhaul to ensure optimal performance. The baguette configuration is notable for its narrow, elongated shape, allowing it to fit into the compact 13 mm diameter case architecture provided by the reference 8060 design.
