In our opinion, this watch is in completely original condition. The great rarity of this watch is the setting with Orient pearls, which is extremely rare for enamel watches for the Oriental market. It is possible that this watch was a particularly high-quality requirement of the buyer, because the enamel case itself is of extraordinary quality!

Signed: George Prior London
