This is a rare waterproof baby chronograph with silver snail dial, manufactured in the 1940s and equipped with Ernest Borel's famous Valjoux 69.
It is a wonderful gem that also fascinates the sense of massiveness that only a waterproof case can provide despite its small case size. It is equipped with Cal.69 made by Valjoux, which is only 23mm in diameter and was said to be the smallest in the world at that time. It is a precious untouched product that has not been touched by any outside help, such as dials with luminescent paint left over from those days and polishing.
