The case is in very good condition overall, with minor surface wear and scuffing typical of its age. The monogram and crest remain well defined. The slide is in good condition. The dial is also in very good condition, with the enamel intact and no visible hairlines. The minute repeater is functioning properly. The movement is operational. Please note that the original Certificate of Origin is extremely fragile and has been separated into two pieces. A facsimile is available, along with a modern extract from the archives.
