Design
- Dial and Hands
- The watch features a silvered dial with a guilloché center and an outer track. Applied yellow-tone Roman numeral hour markers are paired with a railroad-style minute track. Time is displayed via polished dauphine hour and minute hands, with a subsidiary seconds register located at 6 o'clock. Patina is noted on the hour, minute, and sub-register hands, and the dial and hands are described as original.

- Case Construction
- The case is constructed from 18k gold and measures 33 mm in diameter. It features a stepped circular yellow-gold bezel with curved lugs. The condition report notes light scratches and small nicks throughout the case, with evidence suggesting it has been lightly polished. The case back is reported to be in good condition with crisp hallmarks and numbers. The interior of the case back features watchmaker's marks.
- Mechanism and Dating
- The watch is powered by a manual-wind caliber 1050P movement, dated by the source to the late 1990s. At the time of cataloging, the movement was noted to be in working order. It has not been tested for accuracy, and a service is recommended due to the age of the watch.
