Accompanied by an 18K gold link chain and attached setting pin.

The present watch combining several complications with a highly precious stone-set case is most certainly either a unique piece made to special order or part of an exceedingly small series of such watches.

The furthermore like new condition and the impressive weight of approx. 6.67 carats of diamonds and approx. 5.97 carats of rubies combined with a highly complicated movement render this watch an extremely appealing timepiece.
