Footnotes:
International Watch Company has long been recognized as a great watch manufacturer for the quality of its movements and pocket watches. When wristwatches first gained domination in the 1920s and 1930s to the detriment of pocket watches, the company continued to produce them. The reference 5503 pays tribute to this long tradition of pocket watch making.

Dial: Good
Hands: Good
Glass: Good

We do not test any watches for their accuracy and as such timekeeping cannot be guaranteed.

We advise that if you are bidding on a watch, that you or your agents are completely satisfied with the condition of the lot. We recommend that all watches are serviced and polished after the sale as they are handled throughout the viewing period. Please note that although Bonhams endeavour to include reference to any replacement parts within our Condition Reports we cannot confirm that each individual element of the watch is original or that, if replaced, the replacement has been made using original manufacturer's parts.
