Condition

CASE The case is in excellent overall condition, and in our view, has never been polished. The lugs have crisp bevels and are well defined. The bezel is original and in very good condition as well. The numbers in between the lugs are crisp and intact. The caseback still retains its original green Rolex sticker from when it left the factory. DIAL The dial is in excellent overall condition, and in our view, show no signs of prior restoration. MOVEMENT 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.
