This exquisite pocket watch is decorated on the back with translucent cobalt blue enamel on an engine-turned pattern of waves and flowers. The oval miniature in the centre shows a gallant scene in polychrome enamel. It is framed by a border of golden and translucid light blue paillons. A row of shiny split decorate the bezels on both sides. Similar decoration depicting young shepherdesses is found on the three-piece silver and gold enamel chatelaine decorated with half pearls, with signet and winding key.
