Disclaimer: Please note that watches are sold "as is" and without warranty, particularly regarding their mechanical operation, accuracy, or the longevity of their movement.
Most watches have been opened by our specialists to examine the type, authenticity, and quality of the movement. Consequently, water resistance is no longer guaranteed. Furthermore,
some watches are of such an age and condition that a service is necessary; the buyer is therefore advised to consult a watchmaker at their own expense, if possible prior to the sale, to obtain an estimate and bid accordingly.
All watches presented may have undergone prior maintenance or restoration during their lifetime. As a result, they may contain non-original parts such as hands, the crown, internal movement components, etc.
The information in our possession regarding restoration, damage, gem-setting, or general condition is provided for information purposes only; it represents the expression of an opinion as of the date of cataloguing, but does not constitute a guarantee. It does not engage the liability of HDV Hôtel des Ventes SA nor that of its employees. Photographs and dimensions are given for guidance only.
