Lot Essay

This early timepiece is offered in excellent condition: the case presents very little wear and polishing, a truly rare occasion for a watch nearly a-quarter-of-millennium old. The high-relief to the case back is realized in white, pink and yellow gold and represents an arrangement of fruits, musical instruments and neo-classical pottery set against the rising sun.
