Design
- Condition Report
- The auction records state that the dial has been restored and the case has been repolished. The dial exhibits several small marks and the '60' graduation appears slightly faded. The gold hands, numerals, and markers show traces of oxidation and micro-scratches. While the watch was in working order at the time of cataloguing, the auction house does not guarantee future functionality, movement accuracy, or water resistance. It is noted that parts such as the dial, hands, or movement components may not be original due to potential past services or restorations.
- Visible features
- • Matte silvered dial with applied gold Arabic numerals at 12 and 6, flanked by applied baton markers. • Outer base 1000 tachymeter scale and subsidiary dials at 3 and 9 o'clock. • Two rectangular chronograph pushers flanking a ridged winding crown with integrated split-seconds pusher. • Black leather strap displaying an alligator or crocodile skin texture.
