Condition

The movement is running at time of cataloguing, however it may require service soon. The dial has acquired a slight patina and shows some imperfections around the index feet. The case and bracelet show some scuffs, and it appears that one of the four diamonds at the clasp is missing, as the setting is empty. The Extract confirms that the watch was delivered 'drilled', with settings for the diamonds, which were set upon delivery, likely to avoid additional importation costs.
