TIMING MACHINE READOUT
This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.
Condition
Watch is in overall very good condition. The yellow gold case has surface scratches, with some more noticeable nicks on the bezel and tops of the lugs. The display case back has good definition in the engravings around the edge, and the case band engravings remain crisp. The black dial is in excellent condition. There is damage to the lume in the minute hand, with debris trapped against the underside of the crystal. Fitted with a black alligator strap with a yellow gold Montblanc buckle in very good condition. Please note that the watch ticks at the time of cataloging, but timekeeping is poor and a service is recommended.
Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.
Our Perspective
A luxurious timepiece through its hefty 18kt yellow gold construction and black and gold aesthetic, the Meisterstuck plays on Montblanc's heritage as a luxury accessory company and extends that reputation into the art of watchmaking.
