Please note I'm not a professional watch collector. I'm merely liquidating a first rate (my opinion) collection and therefore do not accept returns. The pictures are the best description so please look carefully. Buyer receives watch pictured. Please excuse the photographs this piece deserves a much better photographer, but I have done my best. This is the pride of the fleet! We are honored to have this included in watches to liquidate! This is a #1 quality Swiss 18K red/rose gold Minute Repeater/Split Second Chronograph by Piguet & Bachmann circa 1875. It has a flawless white enamel dial, purple/blue spade hands, plain polished case, with recessed slide to activate the repeater in the band. The watch weighs 141.0 grams on our digital scales. Watch measures 52MM (east to west). The dust cover engraved with the details of the movement over another clear cover. Nickel 36 rubis jewel movement, jeweled to the center and the hammers with (a very unusual at the time) palladium hairspring. Absolutely stunning and stellar pocket watch with a loud clear tone. Watch is in mint condition throughout. All functions of the watch work flawlessly. We gave the watch a full wind and set the hands watched it and it ran to the minute with our quartz clock. As anyone selling an antique 142 year old watch, we can't guaranty timing, etc... It is recommended to take it to only the finest reputable complicated watch person to have it professionally cleaned, always a good idea. Above facts taken from the collectors notes, writing on the watch itself and from my research. Please do your own research. You will find that these two watchmakers won World competitions for complicated watches. They also sold to Patek Philippe, who as you can imagine did not buy from just anyone. Again, please do the research, it is fascinating reading. There are other eBay sellers with quality such as this piece, but the prices are much higher.
