Similarly, when designing the cased ‘Ermeto’ line, he chose the name for its meaning - ‘Ermeto’ translates from Greek as ‘sealed’.This seal or case when opened and closed would at the same time wind the mechanism on all models produced from 1927 on. The style was later developed, including variations in decoration and purpose. This model is fitted with a stand - an ideal travel companion to prop on your nightstand when flying long-distance! 89 AN 18K GOLD ‘CALATRAVA’ MANUAL WIND BRACELET WATCH, BY PATEK PHILIPPE 18-jewel Cal-215 manual wind movement, adjusted to heat, cold, isochronism and five positions with Gyromax balance, white enamel dial with Roman numerals and feuille hands, subsidiary seconds, sap- phire crystal, 18K gold circular two-piece case with hobnail bezel to integral fine mesh gold bracelet, serial no. 29742xx, ref. no. 391xx, case, dial, movement and clasp signed, Swiss assay marks, case (including crown): 3.5cm € 5,000 - 7,000 90 A LADY’S 18K GOLD AND DIAMOND QUARTZ BRACELET WATCH, BY PIAGET, CIRCA 1980 4-jewel quartz 857P movement, champagne dial with applied diamond dot quarters, black dagger hands, brushed and polished case, the back held by 4 screws, bezel set with brilliant and calibré-cut di- amonds, fitted articulated textured 18K gold bracelet with folding clasp, case, dial and movement signed, serial no. 4112xx, ref. no. 89520xx, Swiss assay marks, French import marks, case 2.2cm € 1,200 - 1,800
