The watch houses a legendary cal. 85 automatic movement, running well on 21 jewels with sweep seconds complication.

The dial may have been restored in the past with a fine eggshell original finish and has applied solid gold markers in solid gold, this was most likely oriented to the American market, with an original set of hands, these are made of gold as well.
