CASE & BRACELET
The oversized and slim, 10k rolled gold plated Calatrava case design with art deco inspired "fancy lugs" is stunning.

The original acrylic crystal shows some light crazing and features a slight surface crack at top of the 8 o'clock. The case back engravings are clear and legible. The watch will come supplied on a 2pc handmade leather strap.
DIAL & HANDS
The original cream colored dial is in excellent condition, showing almost no signs of age. All font and markings are in beautiful and near flawless condition. The original hands show light oxidization but are still in great vintage condition. Most of the oxidization is on the hour and sub-second hands, while the minute hand remains in excellent condition.
