The dial is white enamel with Arabic numerals, an outer minute ring, an aperture for winding, and gold hands. The gold case has the dial side surrounded by black champlevé enamel heightened with pearls, a panel of red translucent enamel over a chased ground above the dial, and a diamond and pearl-set motif.

The movement is fully wound but not running, although the balance and escapement seem to be free. The dial is in good overall condition, while the case has some small chips and losses to the champlevé enamel. The red translucent enamel appears to be good overall, with a few light scratches, and there is a visible solder repair to the foot.
