The condition of the watch is well preserved, the bracelet remains in full length. Both watch and bracelet have been minimally polished, due to the nature of platinum the end links have stretch but we have chosen not to restore the watch to keep it in original condition. The dial remains in beautiful condition with the original tritium hands and lume dots untouched. The bracelet fits till a 20+ cm wrist. All the numbers and hallmarks are crisp and visible as well.
