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 watch is in excellent condition, seemingly unpolished, and with a light patina. The hallmarks are crisp to the backs of the lugs and there are scratches from the spring bars to the backs of the lugs. The case back retains its original sticker. The inside case back is stamped ‘18200.’ The dial and hands are in excellent condition and appear to be original. There does appear to be a natural imperfection in the stone running vertically from the left of the base of the hands towards 6 o’clock that could be called a surface crack. There are two cracks to the dial running from the top corners of the day window to the edge of the dial. The hour markers have developed a light patina. The end links are marked 55B and the bracelet 8385. The bracelet is in good condition with little stretch, a light patina, and appears to have been lightly polished. The double-click setting is working at the time of cataloguing. The day is displayed in Italian. The movement is in working order at the time of cataloging, consistent with the age of the watch. The movement has not been tested for accuracy. A service is recommended given the age of the watch.
