AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Outer case: 14-karat yellow gold (585/1000 fineness), certified by the official Swiss hallmark of the “squirrel” and by the “14C” mark. Inner cover (Cuvette) and pins: common/ Copper metal (as indicated by the official stamp “CUIVRE” [Copper]). Chain and Key: Metal (the key is brass/metal gilded).
Inside the gold back (beside the serial number) you can clearly see very fine hand-engraved markings (including “3047” and other, less legible initials). At the time, master watchmakers would engrave these markings with a pointed tool every time the watch underwent maintenance or repair. There is no legible maker’s signature, which is completely normal for this type of late 19th-century Swiss watches.
The outer gold case is in excellent condition; the splendid floral engravings on the back are sharp and not worn by time. The metal inner cuvette and the interior of the back show micro-scratches and wear lines (visible in close-up photos), due to the historic rubbing of the winding key during winding operations and past maintenance work. There are no deep dents, cracks in the dial, or structural damage.
