Notes

Originally, two watches of this type were purchased Mr. Moradpour with two different watch holders. According to the invoice and certificate, one of the sets had a watch holder entitled "Lion" with the enamellled scene on the watch depicting a pastoral scene of Patrician life, while the other set had a watch holder entitled "Italian Renaissance" with the enamelled scene on the watch depicting Apollo and Isee. The two watches were subsequently switched at the request of the owner's son who was to receive one of these sets as a gift. Therefore, the set now offered for sale has the "Italian Renaissance" watch holder together with the watch of which the enamelled scene depicts a pastoral scene of Patrician life.
