The movement shows some tarnishing and a few light scratches on the plates. The dial is in very good condition, while the case is in good overall condition with a few minor scratches on the enamel panels. The chased and engraved decoration remains crisp and well-defined. The pendant is gold, but the bow is gold-plated.
