Condition Report:
Case: The case is in good condition. Previous polish in our opinion consistent with age. The case back has signs of previous engraving being removed. The back of the lower left lug is stamped '899'. Gold mark is crisp and visible on the back of the upper right lug. Please note that the strap is generic and not signed Patek Philippe.

Dial: The dial is in good condition with signs of cleaning. Small dust and debris are present around the center of the dial. Visible scratch between the 12 and 1 o'clock baton. There is some oxidation between the 5 and 6 o'clock marker dials edge.

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.
