The bezel of the timepiece is set generously with diamonds. Flanking that on the other side is a platinum Art-Deco motif set with diamonds and natural sapphires. This is described as a "Driving Watch" because the watch face is angled for ease of view when ones hand is placed firmly on the steering wheel of an automobile.
