Eclipse

A very rare Art Deco gold and enamel purse watch with spring loaded sliding shutters

Sold

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.
