Notes
Note: This watch with case, dial and hands strongly influenced by
Breguet style, is also fitted with a rare verge movement which is not
of full plate calibre, which was employed, after Breguet, by very few
French makers only.
For another example of a watch, built with a similar movement,
refer to lot 123.
