A buyer may not defer payment of the price of these lots, nor request cancellation of their sale, on the pretext that it would be impossible to export and/or import them from Switzerland. The tortoiseshell is dull and twisted in one corner and is therefore no longer well inserted in the mounting. Clear hallmarks Inside dirty and stained Please note that Piguet will not be able to assist buyers with the shipment outside Switzerland of any lots containing elephant ivory, tortoiseshell, or exotic skins.
