Gold Stone Set BREGUET pocket watch key c1820

This key is part gold, part gold on metal. It has an internal ratchet allowing it to wind in one direction only, thus preventing damaging fusee watches which can only be wound one way.

The long key has a white on red agate stone set handle. The rest of the key has a long body with milled detailing and a suspension loop. It did have a gold sleeve on a metal winding pipe but this is missing and is a size 1-2. The key measures 51mm x 8mm and is in 90% mint condition – there are some marks under the handle the gold sleeve is missing on the winding pipe – all reflected in the price
