Dial and Case Construction

The watch is encased in 18K pink gold measuring 40mm in diameter, styled with straight lugs, a stepped bezel, and a fluted winding crown. The auction listing reports that it is fitted with a crocodile strap and an 18K pink gold Roger W. Smith pin buckle. Visual examination of the dial reveals multi-pattern engine-turned guilloché work, including central basketweave decoration, bordered by a brushed outer chapter ring with black Roman numerals and dot markers. A subsidiary seconds dial is positioned at 6 o'clock, alongside a sector power reserve display located between 10 and 11 o'clock with 'U' and 'D' markings.

Reported Movement and Internal Mechanics

According to cataloguing details, the timepiece is powered by a manual-wind in-house calibre featuring 28 jewels and a single wheel co-axial escapement. The movement is catalogued under number 30-C and is stated to bear the engraving 'MMXI'. The auction cataloguing further notes a commission featuring hand-engraving on the barrel bridge and balance cock. As the case back and movement are not depicted in the provided photograph, these technical details, engravings, and signatures remain based on source statements rather than direct visual observation.

Cataloguing Context and Accompanying Material

Offered under the heading 'Property from the Original Owner', the watch is catalogued with matching movement and case numbers of 30-C, with 2011 identified as the start year in the documentation. The lot includes a Roger W. Smith Ownership and Service History booklet, travel pouch, key, fitted wooden presentation box, and outer packaging. Specific maker hallmarks and signatures on the case back and buckle are catalogued as present ('Signed Case, dial, movement and buckle signed') but are not verified in the front-facing image.
