The watch displayed on this watercolour drawing combines various interesting elements. While not exactly clear which materials were used, the bezel has an intriguing pearl-like appearance with what could be turquoise cabochons hour markers. The strap also has a similarly interesting pattern with a bubble-like appearance. This is combined with a dial based on the painting 'Les Amoureux' by Raymond Peynet, all made upon special order by an undisclosed Head of State.
