Material characterisation · declared vs observed vs referenceFor a watch, the keys are the serial, the movement, the case, and the weight.
| Measure | Declared | Observed | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reference & serial | Collection Don Giovanni · Ref 2875 · Serial V215160 | Engraved on the caseback and photographed — format and placement correct for the collection | Raymond Weil production records; serial format conventions for the period |
| Movement | Automatic, Swiss made (dial and caseback text) | Signed RW rotor visible through the sapphire display back — consistent with the collection's automatic calibre | Calibre confirmation and service state — watchmaker session, movement macro |
| Case & crystal | Stainless steel · sapphire crystal · WR 3 ATM (caseback text) | Case, engraving quality, screw-set display back and signed crown photographed; honest wear, no re-polishing red flags visible | Collection case specifications; factory finishing characteristics |
| Head weight & dimensions | Not recorded | Pending — calibrated scale and calliper at the watchmaker session | Reference population for the collection; weight is a first-order counterfeit screen |
Category note: in watches, identity rests on the serial-and-reference pair against maker records, and the movement must match the case — the classic fraud is the "franken" (right case, wrong heart). The display back lets this report observe the signed movement without opening the case; the watchmaker session turns observation into inspection. Every observed cell is backed by a hashed photograph.
The evidence · each photograph beside what it provesFour views, one box — and the movement in plain sight.
The caseback — Collection Don Giovanni · 2875-V215160
The full identity engraved in one place: collection, reference, serial, "Swiss Made · Stainless Steel · WR 3 ATM · Sapphire Crystal" — and through the display back, the Raymond Weil-signed rotor. Format, typography and placement consistent with the maker's production of this collection.
The dial — signed, small seconds, date, "Automatic"
Rectangular guilloché dial with Roman numerals, small-seconds register at six and date at three, signed RAYMOND WEIL GENÈVE with "Automatic" above six — the configuration matching this reference. Even ageing, no redial indicators (print crispness and lume consistency check out at photo resolution).
The crown — RW signed
Original signed crown, correct profile for the case. Replacement crowns are a common service substitution; an original one quietly corroborates the unbroken configuration.
Box, booklet, spare strap
The original Raymond Weil presentation box with booklet and a spare strap. "Box and papers" is the watch market's completeness standard — the box and booklet are on file; the purchase receipt is the paper still missing, and finding it is the single best CHF 5 re-run this record can buy.
The checks · horology profile · authority states shownNine checks, four sources — three held open, honestly.

Why no curator flag: the category's primary identity keys — maker, reference, and serial — are photographed and authority-resolved. The open items are custody documents and the internal inspection; they hold two components down and widen the interval, but do not queue a review.

Reproducibility. Re-running this method against this data snapshot reproduces this score to the digit (pinned-seed deterministic pipeline; golden tests in CI). Falsifiability. This method returns Flagged, with the evidence, when an identity fails its checks; appeals resolve within fourteen days. A verification that cannot say no would be worthless — this one can.
This Provenance Confidence Score is a probabilistic verification report based on digital data analysis cross-referenced against the veradis.ai knowledge graph. It is intelligence, not insurance. The PCS reflects the probability of identity match, custody continuity, material integrity, and risk-profile cleanliness based on available data at the time of query. It does not constitute a legal certificate of authentication, a guarantee against loss, or an indemnity against fraud. For high-value transactions, buyers should conduct physical inspection by a qualified specialist. veradis.ai is not liable for financial loss resulting from reliance on this report.
How to read this report · terms, colours, and the ± number
PCS (Provenance Confidence Score). A 0–100 measure of how well today's evidence supports this object's claimed identity and history. It scores the evidence, not the object's worth — and it is intelligence, not a certificate.
The four components. Identity match (does the object match the claimed identity), Custody & story (is the chain of ownership documented), Material integrity (do the physical signatures check out), Risk profile (registries, sanctions, encumbrances). They combine at fixed, disclosed weights: 30% · 30% · 25% · 15%.
± 6 · the 95% credible interval. The honest range around the score: given today's evidence, the true score sits between 76 and 88 with 95% confidence. Checks that have not been run do not lower the score — they widen this range. New evidence always narrows it; it may or may not move the number in the middle.
Tier — Gold / Silver / Bronze. Assigned on the bottom of the interval, not the middle: Gold 80+, Silver 60+, Bronze 40+. We tier on what the evidence can defend. This report: lower bound 76 → Silver. A failed identity returns Flagged, with the evidence enclosed.
Coverage (4/10 views). How much of the category's capture protocol is on file — a separate axis from the score. Partial coverage is why this interval is wide — and why filling slots is the cheapest way to tighten it.
Authority states. Authority-resolved — the value was confirmed against a named independent source (maker production records, serial conventions) and earns full credit. Declared-only — stated in a record but not yet independently confirmed; half credit. Missing — not yet on file; no credit, wider interval.
Declared / Observed / Reference. What the record claims · what has actually been measured or photographed · the published benchmark it is compared against.
"Clear" in the registry sweep means no match in the named registry on the check date — it never means "not stolen."
The colours. Deep green — supported by evidence on file. Brass — an honesty mark: a gap named, a component under 80, an action still open. Grey — unscored, unmeasured, or the Silver tier. Hollow dot — a check held open. Dashed border — exists but not yet on the platform (a pending capture, an off-platform document). Source dots: public registries · photography & documents · risk registries.
Snapshot & hash. Every version of this report is frozen as a data snapshot and fingerprinted (SHA-256); each version carries its predecessor's fingerprint, so the history cannot be silently rewritten. Verify any version at the permalink.
