Specific Watch Details:

• Year: Mid-1950s (Approximate)
• Condition: Used (Good, Vintage) – The watch is in good and honest vintage condition. It shows normal signs of wear such as scratches, scuffs, or small dents. There is concentrated patina near the edge of the dial at two o’clock. The dauphine and sub-register hands show slight patina but remain vibrant. Lume plots are aged to a dark tone. Pushers show wear from use. The movement was overhauled by an expert watchmaker in June 2018. It keeps good time at rest but loses time when worn, suggesting it may need service.
