Condition: one or 2 time markers may be absent, as there are only 9 shields present on the time scale. The case itself is very clean, with original hood, with side glasses and front slide.

The time movement is extra nice with crown verge and horizontal balance, and with a front plate in the form of vines the pivots strategically placed to as to appear in harmony with the vine.
