The Sotheby’s example is dated circa 1940, case no. 154006, and retailed through Mappin & Webb. Sotheby’s offered it in New York on 24 May 2018 (sale N09879, lot 136) with a USD 5,000–7,000 estimate; the catalogue records no sale. Its condition report notes wear and oxidation, an associated expansion bracelet, and a movement that was running when catalogued but was not tested for accuracy or power reserve. | The Sotheby’s example is dated circa 1940, case no. 154006, and retailed through Mappin & Webb.
