The dial is white enamel with Roman numerals, an outer minute ring, subsidiary dials for months and seconds, apertures for ages of the moon and days of the week, and a retrograde date beneath the moon phase.

The dial is clean and free from visible damage. The case is in good condition with crisp engraving, although it does have some scratches consistent with wear. The movement is not running, with a sticking balance and intermittent repeat function. The central bridge has been polished back, and the chamfers to the edge are worn, but the damascening is still visible.
