stamped platinum and with a case number of 7161. There are also Swiss hall marks. Please note that we do not re-polish cases to give a new look, as this often results in surfaces and edges being abraded as is so often the case. The case rear cover with Art Deco stylised monogram.
The case with several elegant features setting it apart from the norm: firstly the stylised Art Deco solid platinum bow; secondly the attention on the delicate snap on case covers, still as tight and crisp as when first made; the very fine and delicate work to the case rear cover monogram; and finally showing the attention of a master case-maker, at the 12.00 position where the front and rear covers close next to the pendant, there are tiny arched cut-outs to allow a tight and snug fit. However best of all is the case thickness, 3.8 mm, a super-narrow high grade watch.
The watch comes with a presentation box. This will keep the watch in good order and protect it when not in use.
