拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

The movement is ticking at the time of cataloguing, a service is however recommended given the age of the watch. The dial is nice and clean, it has been masterfully restored, most probably by Patek Philippe. The case is in excellent condition, possibly unpolished, with hardly any sign of wear, sharp edges and crisp hallmark. The case back in similar condition. The bracelet as well is wonderfully preserved and presents no warping at all.

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.
