Serial Number 2585978 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Movement Finish: Gilt-Damaskeened
Regulator: Micrometric
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. I would still consider this one "two-tone" because of the integration of nickel contrast in the pattern. "Gilt Damaskeened" movements do not feature the nickel contrast.
