Condition

In very good condition. Very modest wear to the yellow gold links and enamel, would be consistent with age and use in the form of subtle abrasion to the setting edges, and just a few very minor nicks to a few black 'scales'. Possibly one scale enamel has been repaired, however this is only noticeable under a 10X loupe. Diamonds are approximately G-H color, VS clarity. Watch currently running. Fits a small sized wrist, internal circumference not expanded is 4 inches.Total gross weight 133 dwts.
