VAN CLEEF ARPELS - Lot 294
VAN CLEEF ARPELS Circa 1938-1940 Rare and elegant daisy-secret watch brooch in 18K 750k yellow gold, featuring a naturalistic bouquet of two daisies whose corollas are delicately composed of chased gold petals linked by a ribbon. One of the pistils, hinged and paved with intense round sapphires, lifts to reveal a circular watch dial signed Van Cleef Arpels. Marked by the Encausse Krasker workshop (historical collaborator of the House for floral and mechanical pieces). Dial signed Van Cleef Arpels. Case numbered 50508 / 9078. Dimensions: 55 x 40 mm - Gross weight: 39.4 g Good overall condition. High-quality chasing. The movement was working at the time of the appraisal, but a routine overhaul is recommended. The dial shows some pitting (minor oxidation).
