The case has been replaced by Breguet in 1928; this is confirmed in an email from Emmanuel Breguet to Bryan Hiler, August 17th, 2017, where it is noted that the workbook records reflect that on May 12th 1927 Mr. Ginori brought the movement to Breguet for Breguet 1095 without a case.
The client requested a new case be made in silver with gold details. The work was completed at Breguet on January 24, 1928 for the price of 3000 French Francs. The information was further reflected in the Breguet’s repair book no.105 cv.736.
