Jacquemart figure automatons with three or more figure sequences are extremely rare. The present version with an additional concealed erotic automaton, which is in contrast to the usual version on the back, belongs to the rarest Jacquemart automaton watches at all. According to us, we know only two more examples with a carillon and four automatons and concealed erotic scene on the back: 1. sold at Christies in Hong Kong 2011 for about 20.000€. 2. sold at Antiquorum in Genèva 2009 for CHF 31.000,-.
