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.

Good condition overall.
There is minor discolouration to enamel along the bezels as might be expected. The internal frame that holds ivorine back is detached along the base rim and as the result there is a gap of approximately 0.5 cm between the mount and the back.
One small laurel leaf is missing from the laurel branch entwining the caducae on the right. The laurel branch is also slightly loose.
Otherwise, minor surface wear and scratching consistent with age and use.

Please note Christie's do not guarantee the working condition, duration or timekeeping of any clocks sold.
