In good condition. The reverse of the watch with a lilac enamel border, the border showing some losses at the corners. The dial is intact and in very good condition but the crystal has two noticeable scratches by the numeral 4. The seed pearls are silvery white and off-round with fair luster and wrinkled skins. The rose-cut diamonds are near colorless and decorative in quality. Currently running. Please note that the pearls have not been tested for natural origin.
