The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition despite the usual minor scratches and marks due to age and handling. As visible in the illustration, some small gilt bronze elements are missing at the front base. As visible on the illustration, a chip on each hole of the dial. Please note that we do not guaranty the working order of the mechanism which has to be checked by a clock expert. But it seems to be complete.
