In the realm of vintage watches, double-signed dials are highly prized. Among these, signatures from certain retailers are especially coveted due to their romantic heritage, with Tiffany & Co. being one of the top three most collectible. This particular dial stands out because the retailer's signature has replaced the watchmaker's, making it exceptionally rare. Only a handful of such dials exist.

The stainless steel case is made by François Borgel, the finest case maker of the last century, the very same case maker that made the most collectible Patek Phillipe vintage watches.

Borgel was born in 1856. Under the hands of Taubert & Fils, a family who bought the François Borgel operation in 1924, the "FB" and key insignia found their way inside the case-backs of some of the best and most recognizable brands in Switzerland.

The crown is original and also designed by Taubert & Fils.
