The movement is not operational, and the calendar is not advancing. The left side of the dial has multiple cracks, the subsidiary seconds dial has chips and cracks, and the sunrise and sunset plates have damage. The hands are loose. The case shows tarnishing throughout, but the engine turning remains in good condition.
