It is interesting to note that the published examples, No. 14827 and 13927, are both retailed by𝐆 Gübelin and furthermore feature similar Greek key enamel motifs and stylized numerals. The former is in yellow gold and the latter is in white gold. To the best of our knowledge, the present example is the only one of its kind known in green gold.

The present lot represents the height🌸 of complicated horology combined with archetypal 🐓Art Deco design.
