The Antiquorum lot specifies a self-winding movement sized 9¾ lignes. A separately documented 14k gold example specifies an 18-jewel automatic caliber with COSC chronometer certification. Both are self-winding, consistent with the Bubbleback family's defining mechanical feature; neither source gives a specific numbered caliber. | The Antiquorum lot specifies a self-winding movement sized 9¾ lignes.

Two case treatments are documented: solid 14k yellow gold with an engine-turned bezel, measuring approximately 30.8mm diameter and 38.5mm lug-to-lug; and 18k yellow gold paired with stainless steel at 32mm, bezel style unspecified in the auction catalogue. The 14k example's crystal is bombé acrylic, a period-correct domed plastic crystal rather than sapphire or flat mineral glass. | Two case treatments are documented: solid 14k yellow gold with an engine-turned bezel, measuring approximately 30.8mm diameter and 38.5mm lug-to-lug; and 18k yellow gold paired with stainless steel at 32mm, bezel style unspecified in the auction catalogue.
