Condition Report
The case is good with only negligible signs of age and use.  All four glasses good and free from chips or cracks.  The dial chapter ring has a few very fine internal hairlines.  The calendar dial has a very fine hairline extending down from the moonphase aperture.  The moonphase wheel itself has a few fine hairlines.  The movement winds, runs and strikes - not tested for timekeeping or longevity.  Calendar movement advances correctly.
