Condition:
As a vintage piece, the watch shows signs of age and use.
• Case: The gold plating shows wear and brassing, particularly on the edges, lugs, and sides of the case. The case back is clean stainless steel with typical light scratches (see images).
• Dial: The dial is in good vintage condition with some minor patina/discoloration and light marks, but the text and markers are clear and legible.

Functionality:
• The watch winds and runs, and the date function advances as expected.
• However, as a vintage watch, accuracy and power reserve are not guaranteed. It is highly recommended that the new owner have the movement serviced by a qualified watchmaker for optimal long-term performance and timekeeping accuracy.
. Box: The high-gloss wooden box shows scratches and scuff marks on the exterior lacquer (visible in images). The velvet interior is well-preserved.
• Papers: The paperwork is present and shows creasing and yellowing from age. The registration card is unfilled.
