Catalogue Essay
This triple complication is in incredible overall condition. The watch is minute repeating, fitted with a perpetual calendar and moon phases and is also complemented with a chronograph. The dial is clean and intact. The movement is unsigned and the five-hinge case is both heavy and can also be converted from a hunter case to an openface watch, otherwise known as the Cabriolet case that was invented by Abraham Louis Breguet. Fresh to the market, this watch provides an extraordinary value proposition to the collector of complicated, rare and fine pocket watches.
