Case: The case is in very good condition with some light signs of wear and use consistent with age. There are some light scratches and scuffs to the case and case back. The gold marks are crisp to the inner case back, inner hunting case, and inner cuvette. The hinges remain strong. Dial: The dial has some signs of dust and debris consistent throughout, some visible to the naked eye. The enamel dial appears intact. Movement: The minute repeater is phasing. The movement is running at time of cataloging, however it was not tested for the accuracy of time or duration of the power reserve and may need service at the buyer's discretion. Please note that Sotheby's does not guarantee the future working of the movement. **Please note that the box shows some signs of damage.**
