In a typical Art Deco style the back is decorated with a stylized vase of flowers and meander pattern. The engraved motif stands out with translucent cobalt blue enamelling and is repeated on both bezels as well as on the corresponding gold enamel watch chain. The dial has a silvery shine and presents a beautiful background to the vibrant Art Deco numerals and the delicate cathedral hands.
