Philippe DUFALGA, Paris then Geneva, probably 1711-1794 Watch from the last quarter of the 18th century in 18k (750 thousandths) yellow gold adorned with touches of blue enamel, finely engraved and punctuated with small rose-cut diamonds. On the back, transparent royal blue enamel on concentric guilloché engraving. Applique of a trophy featuring an instrument and a score surrounded by flowers. Manual mechanical movement with key (present). Verge escapement movement, with chain, fusée. Painted Arabic numerals on indexes, minute division on top of dial. Signed plate, pear-shaped Breguet hands. Good condition. Functional at time of appraisal. Gross weight: 75.1 g. Little is known about Philippe Dufalga, who left France with his father and became a citizen of Geneva in 1745. His watches are undoubtedly of the highest quality, and were recognized as such in the late 18th century. He seems to have collaborated with several Geneva and French firms in the luxury watches that are exhibited in the greatest museums dedicated to watchmaking.
