Fine and rare Charles Oudin 18K gold quarter repeater with original box, probably
made by Louis Audemars, circa 1865.
White enamel dial with gold hands. Engine turned monogrammed case
with edge pocket wear and slide in the band to activate the repeater.
First quality 34 jewel nickel movement jeweled to the center and the hammers
with wolf's tooth winding, counterpoised pallet fork, and gold train wheels.
When activated, this watch chimes the time using different chime tones to
designate the hours and quarter hours with loud clear tones.
Louis Audemars made many watches for Oudin. This watch is very high grade
and of Audemars quality, and it is within his serial number range. It
also has his distinctive “ hook ” extension to the pallet fork.
