The rectangular gold case is screwed down with four lateral screws and decorated with striped white and red champlevé décor and a black enamel bezel with golden Roman numerals. Pressing the delicate black bars at top and bottom of the case opens the spring-loaded slide locks to reveal the silver dial with blued Breguet hands; the sliders are exquisitely decorated with guilloche pattern.
