The present watch features a chased yellow gold case, with white gold bezel and case back edge. The band is chased with a garland and black enamel design. The back case monogram reading “HWD” is set in an inverted lozenge and has a strong architectural component. Interestingly, engraved inside the back case it reads "H.D.W. from E.H.W., June 27th 1929". In lovely original condition, this watch features Breguet numerals to the dial, and is accompanied by a Patek Philippe presentation box. This timepiece is a wonderful representation of the Art Deco period.
