ROH WATCH CO - 2245 34 - 1900-1949

Overview
This is an antique mechanical pocket watch signed ROA Watch Co Genève, presenting a refined and practical early Swiss pocket watch character. The light cream decorative dial features Arabic numerals, an outer minute track and a subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock, giving the watch a clear layout with more visual interest than a plain white dial. The case is marked 0.800 silver and the back cover has vertical engine-turned decoration. The watch is offered together with a metal pocket watch chain, making the lot complete and suitable for collecting, wearing or display.
The most notable highlight of this watch is the Genève signed dial, the 0.800 silver case, the decorative dial texture and the included pocket watch chain.
