Both covers as well as the case body are fully engraved with various geometric and floral patterns throughout every millimeter. This watch has a diameter of 52mm and total weight of 149.2 grams which makes it highly valuable just based on the gold content. Another indication of the high quality is that the case is hallmarked AWCo which made some of the heaviest gold pocket watch cases in the world. Inside the watch a Waltham Model 1877 Appleton Tracy Co. 18-size movement serves as the timekeeper. Condition-wise the watch is running but we have not timed it and it has not been serviced so we don't offer any guarantee on timekeeping.
