Supremely finished minute repeater pocket watches that are as supremely finished such as this timepiece are very rare and hardly ever appear in international auctions anymore. In the era they were made, these watches were very precious and sold for high prices. This exclusive pocket watch with minute repeater has a very fine pink gold case. The white enamel dial has Roman hours, a railway track minute scale, auxiliary seconds and blued spade hands. The minute repeater with two hammers striking two different gongs is activated by a slide on the edge of the case.
