Design
- Movement Details
- The timepiece is driven by the Caliber 9P, a mechanical movement recognized for its flat construction. The movement is finished with rhodium plating and contains 18 jewels. Technically, the caliber is equipped with a straight-line lever escapement and a monometallic balance that has been adjusted to temperature and five positions. The movement includes a self-compensating flat balance spring, a micrometer regulator, and a shock absorber system for added durability.

- Condition and Authenticity
- The auction description reports that the watch is signed across all primary components, including the dial, case, movement, and bracelet. The overall condition is graded as "A Good". Individual components are graded separately: the case is classified as "3 Good", and the dial as "2-01 Very good". The auction house recommends an overhaul for the movement, which is currently graded as "3* Good".
- Case and Bracelet Construction
- The watch is housed in a two-body, 18K yellow gold case measuring 24 mm in diameter and 5 mm in thickness. The exterior features a textured bark-effect finish on the bezel, which also incorporates engraved baton hour indexes. The case back is secured by two screws to the main body. The aesthetic is unified by an integral 18K yellow gold bracelet that shares the same bark-effect surfacing as the bezel. A malachite cabochon is set into the winding crown, coordinating with the materials found on the dial.
