This elegant steel model features a magnificent dial with radial guilloche pattern and exquisitely painted Arabic numerals.
The sapphire crystal back reveals the extensively decorated automatic movement. A slider on the left side of the case releases the quarter repeater, with a little hammer striking the hours, followed by two little hammers striking the quarter hour on two finely tuned gongs. The tone is rich and clear and must be heard to be believed.
