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. The month on the calendar seems to need a revision in order for it to appear within the aperture. The dial is in a very good condition, as mentioned the aperture for the day and month are not completely straight. The case is in a good condition, there is discoloration on the bezel which is consistent with the age of the watch. Overall it is in a good condition as it has not been used very much which also means it has not been maintained a lot either as it has mostly been sitting in a safe.
