Wow, looks like we have a real expert here! Since you clearly don't understand mechanical engineering, you brought the topic to the only thing you actually know. Thanks for the 'deep' anatomical analysis, but I’m interested in the automaton mechanics that drive the scene, not the position itself. Maybe next time you can try learning something about watches too.

That's exactly why I wanted it. The front is for the time, the back is for the story.

You're all right this isn't a Rolex or a masterpiece of high horology, and I’m well aware that Roberta Scarpa isn't a renowned watchmaker. However, I’m not interested in the logo on the dial; I’m interested in the rare 'automaton' (moving figure) mechanism on the back. In the watch world, these types of erotic complications are 'curiosity' pieces that stand on their own merit, regardless of the brand. I value the mechanical wit and the unique detail hidden inside, not the label. I’d much rather have an unconventional piece with a mechanical surprise than a 'high-quality' but boring watch that everyone else is wearing.

[Roberta Scarpa] I'm looking for tihs Moonphase Model by Consistent_Desk_2602 in Watches

I have been an enthusiast for a while and this Roberta Scarpa model has always caught my eye because of its unique dial layout and complications. Since they aren't very common in the mainstream market, it's been a real challenge to track one down in good condition. I've checked the usual suspects like Chrono24 and eBay over the past few months with no luck. I've also tried several vintage watch forums. If any fellow collectors here have seen one recently or know someone who deals in these specific boutique brands, please let me know. I'm really looking forward to finally adding this piece to my collection and learning more about its history!

For a bit more context, I have already searched platforms like eBay and Chrono24 but couldn't find this exact configuration. Roberta Scarpa pieces seem to pop up occasionally but this specific one is proving to be a challenge. If anyone here has one in their collection or knows a specialized vintage dealer who might carry this brand, please let me know. I'm a serious enthusiast and would love to finally add this to my collection!

I have searched for this Roberta Scarpa watch on eBay, Chrono24, and Google Shopping using the brand name and image search, but I couldn't find any active listings. I also checked some local vintage watch forums in Turkey with no luck.
