Notes

Crystal, case and movement signed. DIM. 24 x 31 mm. THICKNESS 7 mm. Approx. overall length 165 mm. Among haute Joaillerie watches, the KALLA COLLECTION holds a special position, due largely to the audacity of the KALLISTA, but also to the great variety of models that were offered to the public, all different yet all sharing the common denominator of the lavish use of precious stones.
