The watch is in working condition at the time of catalog writing. This fact must be related to his age. We do not guarantee its future operation. It has not been tested over a long period and we therefore do not guarantee the correct functioning of the movement or that of the power reserve. Services or restorations may have been carried out on the entire watch resulting in the replacement of parts which may therefore not be original (dial, hands, parts of the movement, bracelet, etc.). As the watch has been opened, we do not guarantee its water resistance. Unless otherwise stated, we do not have information on the last service performed and we advise you to overhaul the part.
