Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition. As visible on the illustration, there is a loss on the enamel of the number 9 of the dial. The pendulum, the bell and the rewind key are missing but they can easily be replaced. Please note that we do not guarantee the working of the mechanism. Venus was holding a flower crown which is now missing. It can be easily reproduced.
