This lot is accompanied by Extracts from the Archives dated Nov. 1992 and Feb. 2005. It is also presented with an appraisal by "Castella Spezial Uhren" dated November 1992 that lists the sales price as 90,000 Swiss Francs and insured value at 120,000 Francs. The Tiffany made 18k case is likely later at the request of the owner to display the intricacies and beauty of the complicated movement. This is noted on the 1992 Extract in remarks that state "La boîte d'origine no 409.600 a été remplacée par une boîte de fabrication étrangère".
