Pocket Watch: Antique Gun Metal Calendar Pocket Watch

The watch has a stem-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement carries the brevet number 11170 which relates to an 1896 patent in the name of Robert Alfred and Robert Camille, both of Switzerland, for the design of a ‘new perpetual calendar watch’. The watch measures 50mm diameter excluding the winding stem and the loop. The case is gun metal with gold plated highlights. The case is in good condition. The acrylic lens is in good condition. The dial is in good condition. Four subsidiary dials for day, date, month and moon phase. The subsidiary dials are initially set by pushing the small buttons to the side of the watch with a small implement. The moonphase is not revolving. Pin-set hour and minute hands. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please cost us regarding international shipping costs.
