The pink gold case, pink dial and indexes are confirmed by the Extract from the Archives. This colour matching gives the watch a very pleasing monochrome effect. Furthermore, the movement of this watch is punched with the seal of the Geneva mark confirming that it has been tested and found to be of chronometer standard.
