The case rear cover with Art Deco stylised monogram. The case with several elegant features setting it apart from the norm: firstly the stylised Art Deco solid platinum bow; secondly the attention on the delicate snap on case covers, still as tight and crisp as when first made; the very fine and delicate work to the case rear cover monogram; and finally showing the attention of a master case-maker, at the 12.00 position where the front and rear covers close next to the pendant, there are tiny arched cut-outs to allow a tight and snug fit. However best of all is the case thickness, 3.8 mm, a super-narrow high grade watch. The watch comes with a presentation box. This will keep the watch in good order and protect it when not in use.
