Condition

The movement is running at time of cataloguing, 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. Case in overall fair vintage condition with wear, scuffing and scratches consistent with age and use. All lugs with surface markings and small markings. Lower chronograph pusher missing. Chronograph function working properly, but is not able to be reset as the pusher is missing. Service required to replace the pusher. Dial in very good vintage condition. Oxidation to the luminescent dots. Some very small and faint surface dots to the white subdials. Dial has remained highly attractive. Movement recently serviced and in good condition. Bracelet with heavy wear, especially at the clasp.
