This advertisement in the September 1983 issue of Antiquarian Horology, page 330.

The first photo is from the Christie's, London catalog, November 24, 1998, lot #417. This is likely the same as the one in the advertisement, top photo, both are signed Campiche and have plain, possibly gilt, brass movement plates. This is serial number five. The second photo is an enlargement from a travel article from the September 1983 Antiquarian Horology, page 383. This was photographed at the time from the clock dealer of Ercoli and Patrizzi, it was priced at the time for 600 Pounds Sterling. The serial number is unknown but this appears to have the same spotted plate design and seconds dial hand style as that in the author's collection. The main difference is the base, which is certainly a later addition to hold a rectangular glass enclosure.
