This unique and rare watch is all French, including the beautifully finished gilt plate movement done in the Breguet Style. The case is entirely hand constructed with French Eagle Hallmarks. The dial is nicely patinated and still has its original luminous paste. The blued steel hands are also set with luminous paste and are original as well. Surprisingly, this watch still has its original solid gold crown. The watch keeps good time although it being handmade it is not a watch to wear near water as the case is not waterproof. We seldom see vintage watches of this early style.
