This prototype watch was fierciely bid on and has been privately collected since. It has not been worn or used.
It does have scratches and scuffs from handling, the same as were present in the Bonhams auction. You can see the matching scratches in both photos. It is sold as is in the same state it was sold at the auction. If you intent to wear it I assume it will need service to ensure proper functionality and timekeeping.
