All auctions / Watches & Clocks / Pocket watch: a significant, large enamelled watch for the Chinese
Approx. Ø61.5 mm, ca. 173 g, 18-carat gold, set with Oriental pearls on both sides, very fine enamel painting on the reverse, presumably based on a painting by FRANCESCO BARTOLOZZI, magnificent cylinder movement with diamond endstone and original dome; the design, ornate engraving, inscriptions and quality all point to this watch being attributable to the eminent Jaquet-Droz; enamelled dial, original, typical Jaquet-Droz gold hands, movement intact, minor damage to the glaze at the edge of the enamel (crack/flaw within the glaze – no chip). Enamel watches produced by Jaquet-Droz for the Chinese market are among the greatest treasures in the world of enamel timepieces. A watch identical in almost every detail and bearing almost the same serial number was auctioned in Geneva in 2004 and fetched 63,000 Swiss francs (https://www.cortrie.de/go/4eD).
