Robur in argor 'gousset'

Hello, this is a silver and gold watch. It tests positive for 18k when you do an acid test but when you open it; .800 silver.

It works great.

The hallmark on the bow is “aigle sanglier’ .

Thanks for reading, regards, Pierre

“Robur in argor” refers primarily to vintage mechanical pocket watches from the Robur Suisse brand, often set in cases made of “argor” (a type of silver or silver-plated material, sometimes designated as .800 silver). These are collectible timepieces, often from the first half of the 20th century, often featuring chronometer functions.
