The movement is ticking at the time of cataloguing, a service is however recommended given the age of the watch. The dial is nice, clean and original. Devoid of any sign of restoration, it might only have been gently cleaned a long time ago. An intense champagne patina has developed with age. The case is in very good condition, with minor signs of polishing. The lugs are still full, their proportions well preserved, and the third facet well distinguishable. The case back in good condition with extremely minor surface scratches. Overall a very well preserved and honest timepiece.

The condition of lots sold can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair and wear and tear. The nature of the lots sold means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
