The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The case is in good condition with normal signs of wear, commensurate with the age of the watch. The case has developed a light patina. The hallmark is partially visible to the back of the stem. The guilloche case back is in good condition and there are light scratches. The inside of the case back has light scratches and watchmaker's marks. The dust cover reads, "Fabricado expressamente para Gondolo & Labouriau Relojoeiros, Rio de Janeiro." The hallmarks are crisp to the inside of the dust cover. The dust cover number and the number on the movement do not match. For this reason, Patek Philippe is unable to issue an extract from the archives. The dial and hands are in good condition and appear to be original. The dial has one visible crack running from the sub-register to the edge of the dial between 20 and 21. The hands have developed a light patina. The movement is not working at the time of cataloguing. A service is required.
