Extremely Rare & Most Likely One Of A Kind Spectacular Art Nouveau 18K Gold Enamel Guilloché Toi Et Moi Diamonds Irises Flowers Watch Pendant! The gold casing is marked with the horses head which was a French province hallmark that was struck in 18K gold jewelry or items containing gold parts from 1838 to 1919. The watch is approximately 2.65 cm (1 0.8/16 inches) in diameter measured from side to side. Parts of the enamel on the edges of the dial are damaged (5th image) but when front crystal cover is closed the damage is not seen, thus have no negative effect! Another slight fault is the metal spring in the watch is dented at the end (10th image), perhaps intentionally done for better time keeping since I tested the watch and it is in good working condition. How-ever please note that my asking price is solely based on the spectacular beauty and symbolism of this 18K gold watch and not on mechanical function since with such old time pieces might need tuning in the future! I have seen many Art Nouveau watches but extremely rare to find one with the Toi et Moi (You & me) love token with the two Iris. Flowers and the two diamonds! This is truly the Van Gogh of watches! With the beautiful red enamel posterior guilloché which is intact, the upper side section was created intentionally as a space allotment for opening the cover! Red being the color for passion! Diamonds are symbolic for eternity! So the watch says. You and me eternally and passionately together for all times! The casing is solid 18K gold with protruding Iris flowers and empty spaces allowing the viewer to see the beautiful red enamel guilloché which has a very similar effect to some of the beautiful paintings that I have seen at museums by Vincent Van Gogh where the flowers have some spaces allowing the viewer to seen the canvas which gives the painting a very naturalistic impression as though the canvas itself represented the earth. So if you want a Museum Quality Watch that can stand the test of time to equal Faberge, representing true love, then nothing can surpass this little beauty I offer you here! I have seen dealers ask multiple more sums for watches of ugly insects, so why not invest a fraction of that for a time piece that would even have made Faberge himself very pleased! Please feel free to check out my other. Extremely rare to find a size which is So suitable to be worn as a spectacular pendant surely to attract the wonder and gaze of those around you! Dear French brothers and sisters. There are documents that prove the design is Michelangelo, how-ever I need help in getting the art piece authenticated as the actual bronze created by Michelangelo which has been missing for over 400 years. I think it would be extraordinary if you can help me get it authenticated perhaps with experts from the Louvre? Merci Beaucoup and God bless!
