The watch measures 23mm wide excluding the winding crown, and 45mm high including the handsomely shaped lugs. The case is gold filled and it is in good condition. The back of the watch has the initials GAF. The inside of the case back is signed Wittnauer.

The curved lens is in good condition, just a couple of light marks but nothing serious. Some white reflection showing in the photos.

The signed dial with a textured pattern is in its original finish with original hands.

The watch comes on an expanding gold filled band.
