The current lot is exceptionally rare
purse-form timepiece with enamel
portrait and fitted watch. When
one activates the push piece in the
band of the purse, the box opens
reveal compartments. Underneath
the enamel portraits lies the watch.
The purse itself is manufactured
from gold and finished with
polychrome enamel, to the reverse
and hand engraved throughout. To
compliment this lot further, is the
presence of the original key and
original turtle shell travelling case.
