Overall, the watch has been untouched for over 80y. Absolutely stunning conditions.. The dial is close to flawless – very rare for an Angelus from the 40s, especially with a silvered two tone dial. The watch case is in excellent condition, original cut, super sharp and unpolished.. The watch has been just serviced, with all functions intact, keeping accurate time. (275°, +5s/d). The mechanism sounds super crisp when winding. The watch was acquired from the family of the first owner in Sicily, Italy. A possibly unique, extremely well preserved chronograph with tons of charme. Outstanding!
