Its dial inscribed with the words “Vacheron Chossat & Comp. A GENEVE”, this watch in pure French Empire style possesses a yellow gold case with decorative engraving throughout. Its movement includes an experimental escapement while its bridges follow Breguet’s principles in the matter. Pressing on the bow above 12 o’clock triggers the hour and the quarter strikes. Enamelled dial with blued-steel serpentine hands.
