One-off piece, casing in 750/000 rose gold. The silver-coloured dial with relief engraving on the TEFNUT Lady Grand Dame was specially handcrafted according to the design of an original ladies’ pocket watch by Moritz Grossmann from the 19th century.

The outer dial is adorned with a handmade shimmering golden ring in a floral pattern. The inner ring around the diamond shimmering hand sockets is surrounded by fine gold-plated flowers. The wide nickel silver hour ring is adorned with elegant stained Roman numerals in black, and the spaces between them decorated with a hand-engraved pattern. The fine blue lily-shaped hands are hand-cut, polished and tempered. The work is presented with a High Artistic Finish movement. Calibre 102.1. Engraving 1 / 1.
