The signed white enamel dial displays Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic numerals for the minutes, along with a minute track, square winding mechanism, and Louis XV style hands. The gold round case with a hinge has a bezel decorated with rhinestones, a back decorated with translucent blue enamel, halfpearls, and red stones, and includes an enamelled chatelaine with charms.
