Condition and Attribution

The auction description reports the object is signed on the dial, case, and movement. The condition is assessed through the provided grading system, which labels the movement as 'As new' (Grade 1) and the dial as 'As new' (Grade 1-01). The case is rated as 'Very good' (Grade 2). The watch is sold with an original fitted box and a stainless steel deployant clasp. All specific identifying information, including the reference and serial number, is derived directly from the documentation provided in the auction lot description.

Case and Dial Construction

The timepiece is housed in a three-body stainless steel case measuring 43 mm in diameter and 13 mm in thickness. The exterior surfaces are finished with a combination of polished and brushed elements. Key design features include lapidated lugs and a flat, lapidated bezel that frames the sapphire crystal. The watch is engineered to be water-resistant and incorporates a protected screw-down winding crown. The dial is finished with a black guilloché pattern and is set with applied steel baton indexes supplemented by luminous dots. Time is displayed via luminous steel baton hands. Specific complications include a large date aperture positioned at 12 o'clock and a distinct aperture at the 6 o'clock position dedicated to the second time zone.

Movement and Technical Specifications

The watch is powered by the TAG Heuer Calibre 8 movement, a self-winding mechanism visible through a transparent case back that is secured to the case with six screws. The movement is finished with fausses cotes decoration and is built with 21 jewels. It features a straight-line lever escapement, a monometallic balance, a shock absorber, and a self-compensating flat balance spring. In addition to its base function, the movement is designated as an officially certified chronometer. The assembly supports the center seconds, date, and GMT dual time zone complications, ensuring the operational requirements of the reference are met.
