This is a Memovox, a watch with alarm feature.
Alarm is set with the upper crown when pulled.
Alarm needs to be wind seperately by using the same crown.
Lower crown set time and can be used for winding but not needed since it is an automatic watch.

Caliber used is a 825. Check if the case back serial number is accomplished by an "A" in this case
the watch is solid 18k gold. (might be different when the case is UK production)
