The numbered case of this watch, crafted from silver, features exceptionally fine engine turned decoration on the back, a coined band, plain, stepped bezels, gold hinges and bow, and a further engine turned cuvette with a vacant cartouche. The white enamel dial has Roman hour numerals, outer minute divisions and steel spade hands. The movement is equipped with an early Glashütte precision lever escapement.
