18K Yellow Gold Calendar Pocket Watch by Baquet
An example of elegant design, this early 19th-century pocket watch exhibits both beauty and function. The classic open-face design displays the time on an impeccable engine-turned silver dial with Roman numerals and subsidiary seconds dial. Notably, the watch features an unusual calendar display at the top center of the watch face. Calendar displays are a rare feature in watches of this period, making this piece a truly remarkable example of early watchmaking.
Inside the 18k yellow gold case is a key-wound jeweled movement with a dust cover bearing the maker’s signature, “Baquet”.
This watch bears a full restoration and an 18-month warranty.
