Condition
The illustration is accurate.
Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks due to age and handling. The gilding and the marble have been gently cleaned. A minor chip around a hole of the dial.
Please note that we do not guarranty the working of the mechanism although the movement is period and complete.
Very nice chasing, ready to use.
