The solid 18k gold case is engine-turned on both sides; the decorative, floral chasing of the case on the band and on the edge of the two lids is made in high relief. The decorated pendant and bow give the watch a unique exclusivity. The case has a diameter of approx. 41mm and weighs approx. 65.8g in total.
