A very fine swiss watch; and in undisturbed ('original') state !.
The movement is a very popular type (a late example of the 'movements with rounded bridges') sometimes named 'jJürgensen-type'. Those movements were made by Audemars, Piguet freres or Aubert freres and finished and cased for and by many great watchmakers. Perret & Co on the swiss side and Hamann and Koch (NY) were the traders/retailers. 21j; high quality finish on the steel parts; made ca 1870. For a value: take the gold value and add $200; with one of the legendary names the same watch would be considerably better validated.
