The watch is offered with its original box, certificate and instruction manual. It is in excellent condition and starts up immediately. The case is almost free of scratches, with edges that are not worn down; the sound of the repeater is rich and pleasant. All in all this is a fine timepiece with a marvellous haptic quality.
