Condition

Case: The case is in very good overall condition for a watch of its age, and in our view, has most likely never been polished. The lugs are sharp and well defined. Dial: The dial is in overall good condition, with signs of age. There is a considerable amount of staining, most notably above the subsidiary dial. The printing on the dial is still intact and legible. The black hour track has signs of wear and some loss of lacquer. Movement: The movement is in good 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.
