The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The watch is in very good condition with light scratches throughout the bloodstone and 18k yellow gold case. The 18k yellow gold has developed a patina. The diamond and gem settings appear to all be present. The internal case has a moderate scratch near the winding stem. The enamel dial is in excellent condition, free of cracks with light spotting. The hands have developed a patina. The crystal has light scratches. Hallmark engraving and internal engravings are visible and clear. The movement and crown are in working order at the time of cataloging. The movement has not been tested for accuracy. A service is recommended given the age of the watch.

Due to the fragility of this watch when in transport, the winning bidder of the present lot will be restricted to collecting the timepiece at the Christie's Galleries in New York City.
