- Identity and Case Construction
- Catalogued as lot 204 in Bonhams' 'Watches & Wristwatches, Collection of a European Nobleman' sale, this Revue Thommen manual wind wristwatch is identified under the Airspeed model line with reference 7002.3. The round stainless steel case is listed with a size of 40mm and is paired with a black leather strap fastened by a signed stainless steel buckle. Visual observation confirms the watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring white contrast stitching, alongside a signed winding crown. The auction entry lists a date entry of 'Sold 02/10/12', while earlier manufacturing dates are not recorded in this source.
- Dial Display and Visible Condition
- The auction entry describes the dial as black with subsidiary seconds, while the physical observation confirms the subsidiary seconds register is situated between the 10 and 11 o'clock hour markers. The dial and movement are both recorded as signed by the maker. Direct visual inspection shows prominent flaking or degradation marks visible across the crystal or dial surface. The photographic evidence does not allow definitive attribution of this wear specifically to the dial lacquer versus an exterior or interior crystal coating.
- Mechanism and Catalogued Accompaniments
- The movement is catalogued as a 17-jewel manual wind mechanism signed on the dial and movement. Because neither the case back nor the internal caliber are shown in the auction photographs, the internal movement caliber number and finishing are not recorded in this source. The catalog records accompaniments consisting of a Revue Thommen box, outer card, International Guarantee, and polishing cloth. None of these items are displayed in the provided photograph.
