  • Catalogue Essay

    The present watch features a polychrome cloisonné enamel dial depicting Venice Italy. A gondolier floats in the foreground, while the Rialto Bridge is seen in the background. The bridge is the oldest of the four bridges that span the Grand Canal in Italy, and it originally was the dividing line between the San Marco and San Polo districts. San Marco is one of the 16 sestieri (subdivisions) of Venice, and is the heart of the city, home to many of the city’s most recognizable sites including St. Mark’s Square and Basilica, as well as the Doge’s Palace. Number 6 of 35 example, this present watch is a highly charismatic and presented in lovely overall condition.
