Characteristic of this production was the creation in pairs of two identical watches in which the enamel decoration was reproduced reflected to each other. The numbering of the two copies was also generally identical, but on the second a period was added after the numbering. The twin example with the same numbers as the watch in the catalog, was sold by Antiquorum in Hong Kong in June 2008.
