Condition Report:
Please note that this lot contains material(s) which have import or export restrictions. Please contact a member of the department for further information.

CASE
The case is in very good condition with nice definition to the lugs. In our view, it has likely seen a very minor polishing in its past.
DIAL
The dial is in very good overall condition, having developed a wonderful creamy-colored patina. In our view, the dial has likely had a very light cleaning in its past.
MOVEMENT
The movement is running at time of cataloging, 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.
