Reasons to Bid
This Le Roy & Fils minute repeater with dead-beat seconds, built on a Louis Audemars base caliber and housed in an 18k yellow-gold hunter case, offers an attractive set of specifications. It brings together two admired complications rarely found in a single watch: a minute repeater mechanism that chimes the hours, quarters and minutes on demand, and an independent dead-beat second that showcases high-precision chronometric engineering from the 19th-century. The movement’s Louis Audemars origin adds significant historical value, as the firm was one of the most respected suppliers of complicated ébauches to major maisons of the era. The gold case, with its classic proportions and hand-engraved detailing, reflects the refined aesthetics of high-grade pocket watches of the period. Its enamel dial with Roman numerals and central seconds maintains excellent legibility and period charm. As a whole, the watch combines mechanical sophistication, historical pedigree, and elegant craftsmanship, making it an attractive acquisition for collectors of early complications and lovers of finely made repeating watches.
