The dial features a uniform salmon pink hue, enhanced by thin black indices and Arabic numerals at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions. The inscription \"ANCRE 15 RUBIS\" is clearly visible below the 12 o'clock numeral, indicating the use of 15 jewels in the mechanism, a standard of quality for mechanical watchmaking of that era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe case, with its strict geometric shape, displays a silver metallic finish, with a slight patina and some visible signs of wear on the lugs, attesting to the piece's age. The upper and lower lugs are composed of two thick tubular rings, securely fixed, adding a distinctive retro touch to the overall design. The winding crown, positioned on the right, is fluted for better grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dial glass appears original, with some small scratches and signs of use visible from certain angles, without hindering the readability of the black hands. The hour and minute hands are baton-style, perfectly proportioned to the compact dial format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch is presented without a visible strap in the photo, showing only the upper part of the lug, which allows appreciation of the case's structure and design. No additional decoration or engraving is observable on the front face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pink color of the dial, combined with the square shape of the case and the tubular lugs, clearly evokes the feminine watchmaking style of the mid-20th century, particularly sought after for its discreet elegance and assertive lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
