Throughout its history, it is also one of the few jewelry companies that pushed the envelope with watch designs, it has produced several reversible designs in its past, the most notable being the Basculante model in which the case can be flipped over to conceal the dial side of the watch. This example is unusual since the case can be pivoted 360 degrees and is realized in 18k yellow gold with four-body polished and brushed case, cabochon sapphire-set on the bezel and solid case back. The dial is particular with a silvered guillochè pattern, painted Roman quarter numerals and baton indexes and completed by blued steel feuille hands.
