Anonymous, Swiss, circa 1890. Very fine and rare 18 ct. gold hunting-cased keyless watch with minute-repeating and hidden erotic automaton. Five body, massive, entirely engraved with jungle foliage, the front with blank initial cartouche, t le back with tigers, gold cuvette with engraved specifications and secret lid opening to reveal the automata, richly enamelled with a scene of an Arabian patio with much activity in the best traditions of racial harmony and to the delight of a youthful onlooker. Notes The quality of enamel work is well above average for this type of watch. Depending upon which cover of the watch is upward facing, the correct side will open automatically.
