The images of the lot also form part of the online condition report for the lot provided by Sotheby's. Any reference to condition in the online condition report does not amount to a full description of condition. The online condition report may make reference to particular imperfections of the lot but you should note that the lot may have other faults not expressly referred to in the online condition report of the lot or shown in the online images of the lot (for example, the online condition report may not specify mechanical replacements or imperfections to the movement, case, dial, pendulum, separate base(s) or dome). Watches in water-resistant cases have been opened to examine movements but no warranties are made that the watches are currently water-resistant. The online condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alteration or adaptation but rather the online condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion (for example, information regarding colour, clarity and weight of gemstones are statements of opinion only and not statements of fact). Please also note that we do not guarantee the authenticity of any individual component parts, such as wheels, hands, crowns, crystals, screws, bracelets and wrist bands, since subsequent repairs and restoration work may have resulted in the replacement of original parts.

The Tudor Oysterdate 'Big Block' is an exciting model for the brand as it was the first automatically wound chronograph from the Wilsdorf stable in 1976.
The present watch with the 'Monte Carlo' dial is one of the coolest and most vibrant watches that ever produced by the brand. The 'Monte Carlo' dial got its name due to the sub-dials resembling the gaming tables of a casino. The grey and orange dial is in good condition, with matching plots to the hands.
