A guide for this piece: about $1,639, 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.

An octagonal yellow-gold case and plain black dial anchor the broad chain bracelet of this Chanel Première L, H0003.
The Piece
Chanel entered wristwatchmaking with the Première in 1987. The Première design draws on the geometric stopper of the No.5 bottle, with the bracelet translating Chanel chain jewellery into wristwatch form. On this example the black dial has simple hands rather than a numbered chapter ring.

Authenticity & Care
Use a soft, dry cloth and keep the watch away from perfume, solvents, strong magnets and abrupt temperature changes. Have present operation, crown, clasp and seals assessed by a qualified watchmaker before regular wear or water exposure. Keep this non-water-resistant example dry. Have the chain links and clasp checked, and discuss repair-parts availability before assuming a routine battery change is all that is needed.
