Description
Condition: the case has been refinished, to a medium "gold" color, and the carved top has been copied from another example (pretty well done, you can see the hand work up close). The dial has been re-papered a proper black and gold blank, which it certainly had, as the original gold plated hands are intact. Overall good condition and a difficult to find model. For a reference foto and additional details on the movement of this model, see Tran Ly's WELCH book, page 112. Ly's 2004 price update puts this at $4000. Height 51.5 inches
