Condition

A very rare example. The movement is running at the time of cataloguing, however it may require service soon. The dot indexes at the quarters on the dial have aged and there is some irregularity in the signature, though it appears original and is done in hard enamel. The bracelet is in nice condition. The Extract from the Archives confirms the bracelet, 24 diamonds at 0.55 ct and 24 emeralds at 2.10 cts.
