Mechanical Complications

The watch is powered by an automatic movement, specifically the caliber 324. It incorporates an annual calendar complication, which advances the month, day, and date automatically, requiring manual correction once per year on March 1st.

The dial displays the annual calendar via apertures for the day, date, and month, while a moon phase and 24-hour indicator are combined in a subdial located at the 6 o'clock position.

Documentation and Condition

The lot is dated circa 2007. It is accompanied by a Certificate of Origin dated 2007, product literature, a leather folder, and a presentation box.

Regarding condition, Christie's noted the movement was ticking and functions were working at the time of cataloguing, though a service is recommended. The case is described as being in very good overall condition with some scratches and light dents.
