Condition
Case: The case is in very good condition, and in our view, may have seen a very light sympathetic polishing. The lugs retain excellent definition and proportions. The caseback is stamped in between the lugs and repeated on the inner caseback. Inside the caseback the movement is covered by a dustcap. Dial: The dial is in very good overall condition. The hour markers have aged in a very appealing manner, and developed a bit of tarnish to the top. The outer circumference of the dial has signs of age and a bit of scratching. There is a small stain in the 6 o'clock subsidiary dial between 1 and 2. Movement: The movement is in good overall condition, and the chronograph functions are operating properly. 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.
