34,500 HKD
Unsigned, Swiss, circa 1830. Fine and unusual 18K gold ring-watch. Double body, the ring and shoulders chased in high relief with a floral decoration, slightly later hinged cover engraved with a bouquet of flowers. White enamel with Breguet numerals. Blued steel Breguet hands. Hinged gilt brass full plate with conical pillars, fixed barred with revolving arbor, cylinder escapement, plain brass four-arm balance, flat balance spring, gilt brass continental cock. In very good condition. Diam. 17 mm. Notes The original bezel fitted with a glass was certainly replaced with a cover slightly later, at the request of the owner, probably because the glass tended to break too frequently.
