Condition

Case: The case is in very good overall condition, with sharp edges and well defined lugs. The watch, has in our view, possibly has seen a very light polishing in its past nears the edges of the lugs. Dial: The dial is in very good overall condition. There are very minor surface scratches visible under strong magnification. The luminous material is full and intact. There is very light staining to the luminous material on the hour hands, visible under a loupe. The dial has likely been relumed and is registering a low rating by the Geiger counter. 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.

拍品資料及來源

The present watch is an excellent representation of a oversized wristwatch from the 1940s.  The black gilt dial has aged to a very appealing dark shade of espresso, featuring large luminous baton and Arabic hour markers.  The case is in excellent overall condition, and is very well preserved for a watch of its age.
