Breguet, No. 472, sold to Monsieur Louis Dollfus on May 31, 1924, for 10'000 Francs.Very fine and extremely rare large 18K gold keyless center seconds pocket chronometer with detent escapement. Four-body, "bassine", polished, gold hinged cuvette. White enamel, radial Roman numerals, outer minute and seconds divisions with five-minute/seconds Arabic figures. Blued steel Breguet hands. Notes Most deck watches are either in silver or steel. In addition, Breguet made very few deck watches, whatever the material. Therefore, this one, in a gold case, with spring detent escapement and center-seconds, would appear to be unique.
