In very good overall condition, fully checked by a professional watchmaker following a noticed defect. The spring controlling the hour change is weakened, sometimes causing an hour not to advance. It may happen that two 60-minute cycles are needed for one hour to pass on the hour disk. This defect has not been repaired.
