Sabonet-type pocket watch with the exterior decorated in enamel (an architectural composition with a certain exotic air) and a white dial with Roman numerals for the hours and Arabic numerals every five for the minutes, and an inscription relating to its origin (the same is referred to a series of engravings on the machinery). “Frères Esquivillon & De Choudens” worked in Paris between around 1765 and 1830, creating highly valued pieces currently preserved in numerous private collections and in institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum in New York.
