Dial and Retailer Inscription

The white dial displays black Roman numeral hour markers bordered by an outer track with Arabic numerals at five-minute intervals, with a subsidiary seconds dial located above 6 o'clock. Auction condition notes cite tarnished hands, light surface scratches on the glass, and light dust across the dial in places, though otherwise described as in good condition overall. The dial is double-signed, bearing the retailer designation for Enrique Masini at San Martin in Mendoza along with 'No.1366'. Visual examination shows the printed brand and retailer signatures centered on the upper dial area.

Case Construction and Exterior Form

The watch features a 38 mm round case described in the auction catalogue as polished 14-karat yellow gold (585 fineness) with case number 5770207 and a hinged back. Direct visual observation reveals slender wire-style lugs, an onion-style winding crown at 3 o'clock, and side hinge protrusions near 9 o'clock. Bonhams catalogued an overall weight of 50.42 grams. The cataloguer documented surface scratches throughout the case, noting them as more prominent on the bezel and back. The watch is mounted on a brown leather strap described in the condition report as brand new and unworn, secured by an associated gold-plated buckle bearing light surface scratches.

Movement and Cataloguing Documentation

Internal components are not visible in the sales imagery, and technical movement details rely on the auction house report. The movement is described as a jewelled, manual-wind Calibre 15.26, dated circa 1938. The listing documents the piece as signed on the case, dial, and movement. Bonhams noted that the movement ran when powered at the time of cataloguing, but stated that timekeeping accuracy is not tested or guaranteed. The auction record does not list an internal movement serial number.
