Condition Report:
The movement is in working condition at the time of cataloguing. The perpetual calendar chronograph function is working properly. The dial is in extremely well-preseved condition. The bezel and band with light signs of wear are visible with a strong loupe, however there are minor signs of polishing as the hallmarks at 9 o'clock are slightly rubbed. The case back with very light signs of wear, otherwise it is very attractive with a beautifully oxidized tone. The bracelet although with light signs of wear throughout, but is in excellent condition as it lies nice and flat.
