Condition Report:
Case: Case in good overall condition with previous polish in our view. Upper right lug somewhat misshaped. Some patina throughout. Light surface scuffing. Scuffs throughout the back. Please note that buckle is generic and not signed Vacheron Constantin.

Dial: Dial with restoration. Fading and losses to some areas of the outer tracks. Some inconsistencies to the subsidiary dial. The signature was reprinted and there are inconsistencies in thickness, and alignment visible to the naked eye. Some light wear and surface spots. Light dust.

Movement: Calendar function not operating and would require service at the buyer's discretion. 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.
