Condition
CASE The case is in very good overall condition, and in our view, may have seen an extremely delicate polishing in its past if any. The lugs remain thick and well proportioned. The bezel is in good condition with some scratches, and the luminous dot is missing. DIAL The dial has aged in an attractive way. The dial may have been restored, as some of the lacquer is beginning to fade away. The luminous material in our view has been relumed. MOVEMENT The movement is running at time of cataloging, however it was not tested for the accuracy of time or duration of the power reserve and may need service at the buyer's discretion. Please note that Sotheby's does not guarantee the future working of the movement.
