Condition Report:
The movement is in working condition at the time of cataloguing. All functions are working properly. The date disc with some discolouration at the corner at the 3rd and 8th. The silvered subsidiary dial with specs of dots, only visible under a strong loupe. The case is likely polished. The case with light surface wear and dings at 6 o'clock. The upper right lug with a minor scuff. The hallmarks at 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock of the case back has slightly faded. The screw slot at 4 o'clock on the case back with a very minor chip. Otherwise the watch is in good overall condition and is an attractive early example. The buckle with minor signs of wear and extremely minor tarnishing.

Catalogue Note:
The Octa Réserve de Marche was manufactured with exquisite dials and case materials. The current example showcases a white gold dial paired with a pink case, an uncommon combination. One can observe the flawless movement through the case back and notably, the brass movement showcases a straight Côtes de Genève pattern, indicating that this is an early example from the brass era. Complete with its box and certificate, this watch is an outstanding addition to any collection.
