WORKING CONDITION
The watch is currently working perfectly, running and functioning as it should.
As with any vintage mechanical watch, however, it is an old timepiece and has not been professionally serviced or accuracy-tested, so no guarantee is given regarding long-term timekeeping accuracy or power reserve.
COSMETIC CONDITION
Genuine vintage condition with plenty of character. The gold plating displays some age-related wear and marks, while the dial has natural patina, ageing and some visible spotting consistent with its age. The bracelet also shows signs of previous use.
Please study all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description.
