LOT 254:
Paul Ditisheim Deck Watch @ Christie's
A Paul Ditisheim deck watch manufactured around 1915, an austere chronometer with exceptional characteristics: "Guillaume" balance, blued hairspring and ¾ plate. The quality of the finishes is, as stated by Aurel Bacs, "worthy of the work of Voutilainen or Dufour".
Certainly, this Paul Ditisheim is far less demonstrative because it is authentically tailored for chronometry (Ditisheim regularly attended chronometry contests with pieces like this).
Estimation : 4,000 - 6,000 CHF
