A Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantième in stainless steel, with a blue Côtes de Genève dial, a date and a view of the movement through the case back.
The Piece
Jaquet Droz takes its name from Pierre Jaquet-Droz, who established his workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1738. The Grande Seconde has a large seconds dial in the lower half, overlapped by a smaller hours and minutes dial above it.
On this watch the dial is blue, finished with Côtes de Genève stripes, and it carries a date display. The case back is open to the automatic movement, and the original strap and clasp are fitted. The watch was checked in running order before sale.
The case is 43 mm (1.69 in) across, and the strap fits a wrist of 15 to 19 cm (5.9 to 7.5 in). The outer box, the inner box and the instruction manual are included, and both boxes show light rubbing.
