A guide for this piece: about $4,068, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.

The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.

With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

The Piece

A perimeter date track and subsidiary registers give its face a different organisation from a simple date watch. The recovered individual description calls it K18 pink gold and acknowledges that it has had more than one wearer. The seven-view comparison retains both the dial and back inscriptions. Case dimensions and strap species have deliberately been left unassigned instead of borrowing them from another 4768.

Details

Functions: Triple calendar and chronograph; untested now
Case material: K18 pink gold.

Condition

The description reports dial ageing with few conspicuous stains and says the movement was running then. Neither statement is a fresh function test. No separate Japanese letter grade was supplied. Unknown repair history and possible replacement parts remain explicit rather than being converted into an originality guarantee. See Japanese condition ranks.

Authenticity & Care

Use a clean microfibre cloth and keep the watch dry pending a current seal and water-resistance assessment. Confirm the correct setting and winding procedure for the actual movement with a qualified watchmaker. No transferable maker or third-party service coverage is promised. Do not operate calendar correctors or chronograph controls until their proper sequence and working state have been checked.
