Condition
It is important to note that although the case is stamped PT950, the certificate states the case is platinum and a metal test confirms this, there is also a 750 stamp on one end, suggesting that a component of the case, likely the case back, is white gold. The movement is running and power reserve seems to function properly, however it might need service soon. The dial is very clean with no marks. The case shows light wear to the back and sides and some light surface scuffs. Overall this watch is in very good condition. The retail price for this watch is about $135,000.
