Lot Essay

This extremely chic tonneau-shaped watch exudes the timelessness of good design with the subtle richness of its white gold case, mother of pearl dial and contrasting yellow gold Breguet numerals and hands. Furthermore, it is retailed by the oldest Venetian jewellers, Missiaglia Gioielleria.

Established in 1846, Missiaglia has remained in the hands of the same family ever since, making it one of the oldest family-run businesses in Europe.
