Condition report

General condition: Good.

White enamel dial: Very good condition, though the dial has yellowed. Some scratches. The dial is not properly secured.
Hands: Good condition, with wear and micro-scratches.
Crystal: Very good condition.
Case: Fair condition. Minor damage to the enamel. Some imitation pearls are missing. Damage to the bezel around the movement and signs of repair.
The repeater does not function properly and does not strike the correct time.

The watch is in working condition at the time of cataloguing. This should be considered in relation to its age. We do not guarantee its future performance. It has not been tested over a long period, and therefore we do not guarantee the accuracy of the movement or the power reserve. Services or restorations may have been carried out on the entire watch, possibly resulting in the replacement of parts that may not be original (dial, hands, parts of the movement, strap, etc.). As the watch has been opened, we do not guarantee its water resistance. Unless otherwise stated, we have no information regarding the last service, and we recommend having the piece serviced.
