Condition

The movement is in working condition at the time of cataloguing. The dial and hands show clear signs of aging with scratches and abrasions throughout. The case also has visible scratches, nicks and dents throughout as it seems like the watch was frequently worn over time. Please be advised that the watch has a very light shade of pink only. The watch has not been tested to determine the accuracy of its timekeeping. Please note that Sotheby's does not guarantee the future working of the movement and that a service may be required at the buyer's discretion.
