BREGUET IN PARIS
18K (750 thousandths) gold pocket watch, white enamel dial, black star-spangled minute track, black painted Arabic numerals, gilt arrow hands. Breguet signature at bottom of dial. 18K (750 thousandths) gold bezel decorated with half-pearls. 18K (750 thousandths) gold full-clip caseback with blue enamel guilloché, numbered 223, surrounded by half-pearls. Mechanical key-wound movement, finely chased cock, signed Breguet à Paris n°223 on the plate, verge escapement, fusée chain system. Watch not functional at time of appraisal, with no guarantee of future operation or condition of parts. Scratches to the case, slight damage to the dial. This watch probably did not leave the Breguet workshops, but was made by a counterfeiter at the time. No trace of the watch is visible in the brand's registers, and some details, including the signature and hands, leave much to be desired. We would like to thank Emmanuel Breguet for his collaboration.
