The Breguet Tradition was introduced in 2005, beginning a decade-long rebellion for the usually staid manufacturer of the Vallée de Joux. To accomplish the aestheticallyappealing design of this innovative watch, Breguet employed nearly thirty collaborators to bring many of the horologic elements above the main plate, for the viewing pleasure of the enthusiast. New technologies were innovated to preserve the beauty and symmetry of the watch while still achieving modern technical excellence. A special anti-reflective optical coating was applied to the sapphire crystals on both top and bottom to avoid glare while viewing the impressive movement. This, in part, began an industry-wide revolution of skeletonized and see-through watches that has spanned decades, continuing even to this day. Estimate: $14,000 - $18,000 Starting Bid: $12,000

The Rolex GMT Master II represents an evolution of the classic dual time zone watch developed by Rolex for Pan American Airways pilots in the 1950s. This watch is a perfect example of why Rolex sport watches are so beloved—they were originally produced to serve a specific professional purpose, as tools for sport or other specialized technical tasks, and later adapted for the consumer market and general public. The Daytona, for example, was developed for race car drivers, the Submariner for deep sea divers, and the GMT for globetrotting pilots and explorers. This particular example is in excellent condition, with a strong case, full lugs, and original dial and hands.

The reference 16800 is the successor reference to the 1680, the first Submariner to feature a date. For the 16800, Rolex added a quickset feature to the date and an upgraded sapphire crystal, allowing the watch to go to 1,000 feet (300 meters), increasing diving depth capacity by 50% over the previous reference. This current example is an early reference 16800, featuring a dial that has tritium luminous material applied to the dial without white gold “surrounds”, or circles, surrounding the luminous plots, a feature evident on current Submariner models. With a more desirable sapphire crystal and a dial that still has the charm of a vintage Submariner, such early examples of the Submariner reference 16800 have been growing in popularity. Accompanied by a Rolex presentation box, outer box, Rolex hang tag, Rolex 1987-1988 pocket calendar, suede travel pouch, Rolex Submariner booklet, and Rolex polishing cloth.

A gently worn watch, this Rolex Submariner has light to moderate wear on the bezel ring and case.

This is a rare example of a “Bart Simpson Submariner”, its nickname resulting from the fact that the Rolex coronet on the dial is a stubbier shape that resembles the head of Bart Simpson (the cartoon character from the world-famous television show, "The Simpsons"). These “Bart Subs” were the last glossy dial Submariners made and feature “gilt” (gold) text on the dial. The lacquer on “Bart Sub” dials would often change color over time to a “tropical”, or brownish, worn look. Moreover, the luminous plots on the dial have aged to a warm, creamy color. The case is full and substantial, exhibiting only light signs of polish. A beautiful and appropriately "aged" example for any Rolex sport watch collector.

The reference 1655 was engineered to serve a very specific market—cave explorers. The functionality of the 24-hour hand should not be confused with that of the GMT, since the bezel does not rotate. The 24-hour hand in this reference 1655 Explorer has a single purpose—to differentiate day and night in places where the lack of natural light can be confusing. The Explorer was introduced in 1971 and was initially a slow seller, although its 1970s looks eventually garnered a cult following among Rolex collectors.

Rolex produced the Explorer II reference 16550 for only four years, from 1985 to 1989. The reference 16550 was an upgrade from the predecesor, reference 1655 (lot 48 in this sale) in that it had an independent hour hand to track a second timezone with an upgraded movement. One of the more interesting aspects of reference 16550 is that the white dial models—due to a defect in the paint—turned to a nice cream or ivory color. Rolex later corrected this defect, but you now have an opportunity to buy a beautiful creamy dial Explorer II, made even more rare and collectible by the short, four-year production cycle.

The OMEGA Speedmaster is best associated for its use by NASA astronauts, including on the Apollo 11—the spaceflight that put mankind on the moon. The present watch is notable for featuring a movement serial number 49 digits before the movement in Neil Armstrong’s watch. It is quite possible this movement was assembled and sitting right next to the movement that would end up in Armstrong's watch. In fact, this very watch was featured on HODINKEE back in July 2010. Like the watch used by Armstrong, the reference number on this Speedmaster is 105.012-65.

This Speedmaster is a delightful example of a “Pre-Moon” Speedmaster, and one of the last Omega references with the highly-prized caliber 321 movement made by Lemania. Lemania is one of the most famous makers of chronograph movements, used in watches manufactured by Patek PhilIippe, Vacheron Constantin, and other iconic brands. This example also features its original “Dot over 90” (DON) bezel, also cherished by collectors. Estimate: $7,000 - $9,000 Starting Bid: $6,000

Rolex Daytona Launched over 50 years ago, the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is as desirable as it has ever been he Rolex Daytona is an iconic success story that began as a tool of ambition. First introduced with the “Daytona” signature in 1965 after the Cosmograph model's introduction in 1963, the watch proclaimed Rolex’s sponsorship of the prestigious sports car race in Daytona Beach, Florida. For the Daytona specifically, Rolex had introduced a couple of major stylistic changes from its earlier chronographs, drastically improving the watch’s utility with a race car driver’s needs in mind. First, the inverse colors of the main dial and the registers provided the watch with a sportier look and clear constrast to read elapsed times in the register. Second, the tachymeter scale was removed from the dial and engraved onto the bezel, allowing for greater legibility. Yet despite its durability, aesthetics, and reliable movement, the Daytona was not hugely in demand when produced. In fact, many sat at retailers before they were sold, and often at steep discounts. At that time, Rolex was competing with a host of other watch brands already well-known

| 66 |

for their chronographs. Furthermore, the Daytona remained a manually-wound timepiece until 1987, during the height of the world-wide craze for quartz movements. Like many success stories, the tides would turn for the Daytona. The cult surrounding its “exotic dials,” popularized by Paul Newman, coupled with the strong return of wristwatch collecting in the late 1980s, would elevate the Daytona to become one of the most famous and coveted watches of all time. With over 50 years of history, starting off as highly utilitarian piece, the Rolex Daytona remains to this day a perfect watch for any occasion. In all its omission of decorative features typical of other high-end watches, the watch is nighindestructible and meant to be worn every single day of a man’s life. We are pleased to offer a fine selection of vintage and contemporary Rolex Daytonas—featuring subtle, yet impactful variations throughout Rolex history.

The larger subsidiary dials with black inner circles showcase the thickness of the black paint and generous lacquer on the dial; the red Daytona adds a little extra pop. The 4130 is an incredible caliber, with fewer component parts than most chronograph movements and almost 70% more efficient than the previous caliber 4030. With an iconic and easily recognized design, the Rolex 116520 is a true classic that works well in a wide variety of situations, and will look good for many years to come.

The present watch is an uncommon Daytona 116519 in a white gold case. This reference was one of the first to feature caliber 4130 developed in-house by Rolex. The earlier movement, developed by Zenith and modified by Rolex, was used in all Daytona watches until 2000, when it was replaced by caliber 4130. The dial, which features Arabic numerals facing toward the center post, has an unusual discoloration on the bottom half. The result is a beautiful piece of art in addition to a fine timepiece. The beautiful imagery of the dial combined with one of the first implementations of the Rolex in-house chronograph caliber make this watch a rare find indeed.

| 74 |

This is an exceedingly rare example of a “FourLine” Daytona reference 16520 dating to circa 1988 with its original and rare, early bezel graduated to 200 units per hour. It is thought Rolex was testing removing text from the dial with this early run of Daytonas following the discontinuation of the "porcelain" dial automatic Daytona. This watch simply reads “Superlative Chronometer” on the dial with the phrase, “Officially Certified”, noticeably absent. It is also thought that Rolex later increased the "UNITS PER HOUR" measurement on the bezel from 200 to 400 units to accommodate the faster drivers of the period. This rare early automatic Daytona has a modified Zenith El Primero movement used by Rolex until 2000. Daytonas with Zenith movements have become highly prized by

collectors, particularly due to the retention of the running seconds subregister at 9 o’clock from the dial layout of original vintage Daytonas. Furthermore, it has the “inverted 6” dial where the '6' in the hour register above 6 o’clock looks like a ‘9’ as the numbers are rotated toward the center post of the register. This particular example also has the extremely desirable “R” serial designation indicating it was produced in 1988, the first year of production of the automatic Daytona, making it one of the earliest automatic Daytonas produced. This is a rare and exceptional version of the automatic Daytona; a rare find for any serious collector. Estimate: $18,000 - $28,000 Starting Bid: $15,000

The present watch is a wonderful example of an automatic Daytona reference 16520 with silver subdial registers that have turned a delightful “tropical” brown. This “colorchange” dial is nicknamed the “Patrizzi dial” after the watch auctioneer Osvaldo Patrizzi, who reportedly helped discover and popularize these dials. This is also an early example of a “Patrizzi” Daytona with an “inverted 6” in the hour register, meaning that the ‘6’ in the hour register looks like a ‘9’ to the person looking directly at the watch. The present example exhibits a strong case with only light signs of polish and beautifully preserved dial, its overall exceptional condition adding to the rarity of the Patrizzi characteristics. Accompanied by original presentation and outer boxes, warranty papers, extra link, Oyster and Daytona booklets and hang tag. Estimate: $25,000 - $35,000 Starting Bid: $20,000

the fact that Paul Newman wore a Daytona with an exotic white dial featuring square markers in the subsidiary registers. It is believed that Rolex had Singer produce these exotic dials to evolve with the trend toward more unusual and bright chronograph dials.

This present watch is the same reference Paul Newman wore with the same white exotic dial variation. It was consigned by the original owner who purchased it while traveling in Fiji in the early 1970s. The owner treated the watch with care and wore it on rare, special occasions. He had it serviced only once, with a solitary service mark from a watchmaker on the inside of the case back. The case and

bezel appear to be unpolished and the dial is also in spectacular condition. Furthermore, it features the rare 7205 Swiss-Made bracelet with 71 end links, a combination highly-prized by collectors. This is an exceptional opportunity to purchase one of the most stunning examples of a "Paul Newman" Daytona that we have seen offered by any auction house or watch dealer. Moreover, you get to own a watch being sold by the original owner, cherished, rarely worn, and retaining its original condition and characteristics.

1. TERMINOLOGY

2.5 Timepieces Fortuna does not guarantee the working condition of any timepieces. All timepieces are sold without warranty. Fortuna attempts to identify significant damage and make note of such damage in catalog descriptions, when and where possible. However, Fortuna makes no guarantee as to the full and complete condition report of any timepiece. Furthermore, catalog descriptions and condition reports do not necessarily include all faults, imperfections, or restorations performed on the timepiece. Many of the watches offered for sale are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials. Any of these endangered species straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. Fortuna will remove and retain the displayed endangered species straps prior to shipment. At some sale sites, Fortuna may, at its discretion, make the displayed endangered species straps available to the buyer of the lot free of charge if collected in person from the sale site within six (6) months of the date of the sale.

The following terminology, which is used throughout these Terms and Conditions, shall be defined as follow: Hammer Price: The Hammer Price is defined as the final and winning bid, secured by the landing of the gavel (hammer) during the live sale. Total Purchase Price: The sum of the Hammer Price, the buyer’s premium (to be retained by us for our account and payable by the winning bidder/buyer), any associated fees and expenses due to us, and any applicable taxes. Fortuna Authority: At the time of last revision of these Terms and Conditions, Fortuna Authority shall solely and exclusively refer to either: John Saxon, Co-CEO or Seth Holehouse, Co-CEO. 2. PROPERTY CONDITION, AUTHENTICITY, REPRESENTATION, AND WARRANTY 2.1 Property is Sold “As Is” All Property is sold “As Is”, without any warranty or representation, expressed or implied, by us. The absence of a Property condition report does not imply any particular condition. All statements contained in this catalog, on our website, in any | 88 |

2.2 Property is Available for Inspection and Condition Reports are Available Upon Request It is your responsibility to inspect and/or request additional photographs, videos, and/or condition reports for any Property you intend on bidding for, prior to the day of the sale. Fortuna will not be held responsible or liable for providing such information to you in time for the sale, if you do not request the information at least 48 hours prior to the sale. 2.3 Certificates of Authenticity Fortuna will, from time to time, for various lots offered, obtain certificates of authenticity from the designer and/or manufacturer, when possible and practical, in our sole discretion and under our sole judgement. However, not all designers and manufacturers issue certificates upon request. In the event that you are a winning bidder and you attempt to obtain such a certificate from a designer and/or manufacturer and are unable to, you understand and agree that this will not constitute grounds to rescind the sale. Furthermore, you assume all such risks in the purchase of the lot(s) that you bid for and win and will not hold Fortuna liable for any costs, expenses, losses, liabilities, and/or damages as a result of such events. 2.4 Gemological Certificates and Reports Fortuna does not guarantee and accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in any gemological reports and/or certificates. Fortuna uses such reports and/or certificates as a point of reference. All liability with regards to accuracy shall be assumed by the gemological laboratory from which the certificate and/or report originates. Please note that different laboratories may differ in their assessments (including but not limited to: origin, type and extent of treatment) and thus such certificates and/or reports from different laboratories may contain different results. If, following a sale, a buyer obtains a gemological laboratory certificate or report from a laboratory other than the one used by Fortuna, Fortuna will not be held liable for any differences in certificates or reports. From time to time, Fortuna will guarantee certain characteristics for a gemstone offered for sale and oftentimes, the sale is contingent upon receipt of a certificate confirming such characteristics. When such a situation occurs, Fortuna will explicitly and clearly state the terms of the guarantee.

2.6 Estimated Gemstone Weights Certain gemstone weights are estimated using techniques that yield approximate measurements. The values produced by these techniques and reported in the catalog descriptions are to be used as approximations, and should not be relied upon as exact measurements.

3. BUYER’S PREMIUM The following premiums will be applied to the buyer’s account, and due to Fortuna, on top of the Hammer Price: 25% on the first $300,000 20% from $300,001 to $3,000,000 12.5% on the excess over $3,000,000 4. AUCTION PROCESSES, PROCEDURES, AND PLATFORMS 4.1 Auctioneer’s Rights and Permissions The auctioneer may sell, pass, withdraw, or advance a lot in any manner he or she decides and may split any bid increment for any lot at any time, all at his or her sole discretion. The auctioneer may also, in his or her sole discretion, for any reason he or she deems necessary, especially in the event that the auctioneer doubts the validity of a bid or a bidder, reject any bids, from any bidder, for any Property, at any sale and at any time. In event of a bidding dispute, the auctioneer has the sole, exclusive, and final decision in the selection of the winning bidder, the cancelation of the sale, the re-entering of a previously withdrawn lot, the re-opening and re-offering of a previously passed lot, and/or the re-selling or re-passing of the disputed lot. Any post-auction disputes that arise shall be resolved by review of our sales records, which shall act as a master record, and shall be conclusive in all respects. 4.2 Property Withdraw, Lot Consolidation/Division, and Lot Re-Sequencing We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, for any reason we deem necessary, to withdraw any property from any sale at any time prior to the sale of such property, divide property of a lot up into multiple lots to be offered for sale, or consolidate multiple lots into fewer lots to be offered for sale, or rearrange lot sequencing. You agree to hold Fortuna harmless for any such actions. Unless otherwise announced by the auctioneer at the time of sale, all bids are per lot as numbered in the catalog and no lots shall be divided or combined for sale. 4.3 Lots With Reserves We may offer lots subject to a “Reserve,” which is a confidential minimum price below which a lot will not be sold. If, during the course of bidding, a lot does not meet its Reserve, the auctioneer shall pass the lot. The auctioneer may bid on behalf of the consignor, whether by opening bidding or continuing bidding in response to other bidders, until the reserve is reached, at which point the auctioneer will cease bidding on the consignor’s behalf. If Fortuna has an interest in a lot, the auctioneer will behave in the same manner, with respect to bidding on the behalf of the consignor to meet a reserve price, that he or she would otherwise behave for any third party consignor. 4.4 Consignor Integrity Under no circumstances is any consignor or representatives of any consignor allowed to bid on their own items. If such an event takes place, the consignor will be subject to all applicable penalties and Fortuna will be permitted full authority to resolve the matter in using any available means and manner contractually and legally permitted, as outlined in the Master Consignment Agreement. 4.5 Bidding By Representative If you wish to send a representative to bid on your behalf, you must first seek and gain the express written approval of Fortuna. You and your Representative shall accept and agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions herein. Furthermore, the Bidder and/or Buyer agree to be held liable for the actions of your Representative, pursuant to these Terms and Conditions. In such an event, we will need the buyer’s and/or bidder’s signature on a letter of authorization, to be provided by Fortuna upon request. 4.6 Absentee Bidding, Phone Bidding, and Online Bidding Not Guaranteed We may permit and execute absentee bidding including written


Fortuna Buyer Terms and Conditions bids, telephone bidding, and internet bidding as a convenience to you, if you are unable or would prefer not to attend the auction in-person. We are not responsible for any errors related to this type of bidding in any way. You further agree to hold us harmless should we fail to execute any such bids or should the digital platform, software, tool, and/or technology that you used to bid fail you at any point, for any reason. 4.7 Online Platforms and Bidding Fortuna may allow clients to bid online via our own website, mobile application, or other third-party online platforms. By using any of these digital platforms to participate in a sale, you acknowledge that you are bound by these Terms and Conditions, as well as any additional terms and conditions stipulated by the digital platforms. At any time, Fortuna may terminate, suspend, change, discontinue, or add to any aspect of the digital platforms and/or services, in our sole discretion, without liability. We also may restrict, suspend, or terminate use of access for anyone at any time. When using any third-party digital platforms to participate in a sale. You acknowledge that Fortuna has no responsibility for any of the content, interaction, or risks associated with a third-party digital platform. Under no circumstances is Fortuna liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage that you may incur on a third-party digital platform. 4.8 Title to the Property Upon the landing of the auctioneer’s hammer, title passes to the winning bidder, subject to these Terms and Conditions and the winning bidder’s ability to fulfill his or her obligations as detailed herein. On the landing of the auctioneer’s hammer, the winning bidder shall have purchased the offered lot pursuant to, and subject to compliance with, these Terms and Conditions. At such a time the winning bidder: (a) assumes full risk and responsibility therefor, (b) if requested will sign a confirmation of purchase, and (c) will pay the purchase price in full. No lot may be transferred. Any person placing a bid as agent on behalf of another (whether or not such person has disclosed that fact or the identity of the principal) may be jointly and severally liable with the principal under any contract resulting from the acceptance of a bid. 5. ACCOUNT SETTLEMENT & RECEIPT OF PROPERTY 5.1 Balance Due and Due Date You will be required to pay the total balance of your account, which is equivalent to the Total Purchase Price. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing and signed by a Fortuna Authority, payment is due within seven (7) calendar days of the completion of the auction. Under certain circumstances Fortuna may offer extended payment plans/terms for certain buyers. We shall, in our sole discretion, make such decisions without disclosing any information regarding such decisions to any other party. If the buyer makes a partial payment, we shall, in our sole judgement, apply the partial payment to any particular line items or lots on the buyers account balance that we see fit in whichever manner we see fit. Payment will not be deemed made in full until we have collected good funds for all amounts due and all funds have cleared our bank account. 5.2 New York State Sales Tax New York sales tax shall be applied to a buyers’ accounts, as a percentage applied against the taxable portion, if any, of the Total Purchase Price, and collected by Fortuna at the time of settlement, regardless of the state or country in which the buyer/bidder/representative resides or does business. Property delivered to a destination outside of New York by a shipper who is considered a “common carrier” by the New York Department of Taxation and Finance (e.g., DHL, FedEx, UPS, and/or USPS) will not be subject to New York sales tax. Buyers/bidders/representatives who make any other such arrangements for pickup or delivery in the state of New York, will be subject to New York State Sales Tax, pursuant to the details herein and all applicable laws. One final exception: If a Buyer/Bidder/Representative possesses and presents to Fortuna a resale ID, taxes are not applicable and will not be applied or collected. 5.3 Accepted Forms of Payment and Associated Limitations and Service Charges

Card payments shall not be accepted from first time buyers, unless otherwise approved in writing by Fortuna and authorized by a Fortuna Authority. Card payments are limited to a maximum $10,000 per buyer/bidder/representative per auction. We reserve the right, in our sole discretions, for any reason we deem necessary, to permit or deny any form of payment for any buyer/bidder/representative and the right to increase or decrease any maximums, minimums or thresholds stated herein. 5.4 Property Pickup or Delivery Prior to account settlement, you must inform Fortuna in writing (email is preferable) of your desired method of receipt of your new property—either pickup or delivery. If requesting delivery, Fortuna will arrange a fully-insured shipment for you, with a reputable “common carrier” (e.g., DHL, FedEx, UPS, and/or USPS), however, you will be responsible for any and all insured shipping costs and/or costs affiliated with receiving the property. If picking up, or requesting delivery to a New York mailing address, you understand that you will be subject to any applicable sales taxes, as detailed herein.

Numerous countries refuse the import of property containing these materials, and other countries may require a license from the relevant regulatory agencies. Fortuna will not be obliged to cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported or it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to the export or import of property containing such protected or regulated material. All export and/ or import license costs and coordination to obtain any licenses or documentation will be borne you. 6. BUYER’S DEFAULT AND RESCISSION OF SALE 6.1 Buyer’s Default If you fail to fully pay for your auction purchases, including all applicable expenses, fees, and taxes, by the due date (seven calendar days after the date of sale) or if any of the terms and conditions herein are not complied with by you and/or your Representative or if we suspect, for any reason, that you or your Representative are fraudulent or are incapable of fulfilling your obligations as a buyer, pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, you will be in default, and Fortuna will be fully entitled to and may elect to: 6.1.1 Cancel the Sale We may cancel the sale and either offer the lot at a future auction, sell the lot privately, or return the lot to the consignor. Regardless of the course of action we elect to take, if the lot is re-sold, you shall be held fully responsible

for the difference between the original total balance due and the proceeds from the resale. If we return the lot to the consignor, you shall be held fully responsible for any loss of commission we incur as a result of your actions and any other fees and expenses originally due to us on the total balance due as well as any fees and expenses we incur during the process of canceling and re-selling the lot(s); or 6.1.2 Blacklist You We may blacklist you and prevent you from bidding with us indefinitely or for a finite amount of time, at our sole discretion, or we may require you to place a deposit with us before accepting future bids from you; or 6.1.3 Charge You Interest We may charge you interest at a rate of up to 1.5% per month (or, if less, the maximum allowable by law), on the amount of your unpaid balance. The first interest payment will accrue one month after the due date, and will continue to accrue for each month the balance is unpaid; or 6.1.4 Hold You Legally Responsible We can hold you legally responsible for the Total Purchase Price, plus any applicable fees or interests, and taxes, and choose to begin legal proceedings to recover it, as well as any additional legal fees, accounting fees, collections costs, incidental damages, expert fees or costs related to the matter. 6.2 Rescission of Sale Limitations If within six (6) months from the date of sale, the original buyer provides to Fortuna written notice claiming that the representation of a lot(s) is substantially incorrect with regards to the BOLD TEXT in the catalog lot title, based on a fair reading of the catalog in its entirety and including consideration of any amendments made by Fortuna prior to the sale, and so far as the claim is in full compliance with this Section 6.2 and the following Section 6.3, Fortuna will open a case internally for further investigation. However, to remain an open case under consideration, the original buyer and property must comply with all terms herein, as follows: (1) The property in question must be returned to Fortuna within ten calendar days after such notice was provided; (2) The property must be in the same condition as it was at the time of sale; (3) The buyer must be the original buyer; and (4) The notice provided must establish a claim that is substantially complete with all necessary details, including two (2) or more written opinions by recognized and credible experts in the field, as we may reasonably require, and according to our sole judgement.

Furthermore, we will demand of the consignor of said lot to pay the balance of the original Total Purchase Price to the original buyer. Should the consignor fail to pay such amount promptly, we may in our sole discretion disclose the identity of the consignor to the original buyer and assign to the original buyer our rights against the consignor with respect to the obligations the consignor has, if any, regarding warranties and representations, as well as the rights to collect on the subject lot under such conditions. 6.3 Claims of misrepresentation made by an original buyer will be considered unsubstantial and rescission of sale will be rejected if, for the lot(s) in question any of the following apply: (1) Representation of authenticity of such lot was in accordance with the generally-accepted opinion of specialists, scholars, and authorities of that time at the time of sale; or (2) It was specifically mentioned that there was an existing conflict in expert opinion between specialists, authorities, and/or scholars regarding the authenticity of the lot, at the time of sale; or (3) The representation of periods and/or dates in the catalog description were | 89 |
