The case has lost its gilding.  The glasses are in good condition, except the rear door, which has a chip to the upper right-hand corner.

We understand the movement has recently been cleaned and oiled.  It appears in good condition.  The strike and repeat mechanism works.  There is a small chip to both the right and left upper corners of the dial.  There is no key.
