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。

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.
