EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an exquisite presentation watch and matching chain, a true testament to the opulence of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. Crafted in the 19th century by the skilled hands of European artisans, this timepiece is a remarkable blend of gold, enamel, diamonds, and rubies. Measuring at an impressive diameter of 5.3 cm, this historically significant watch features a gilt-finished jeweled lever movement with a bimetallic compensation balance. Its white enamel dial boasts elegant Roman numerals and gold Louis XV hands, accompanied by subsidiary seconds for precise timekeeping. The circular case is adorned with Bavarian blue enameled covers encircled by sparkling rubies. The front proudly displays the applied gold-mounted diamond-set entwined monogram of King Ludwig II topped with his regal crown. On the reverse side rests an intricately designed silver-mounted pave-set diamond horses head with ruby-set eyes and pendant. Adding to its grandeur is a large crown embellished with chased and engraved acorn and leaf decorations in high relief. The accompanying chain is composed of textured knots interspersed with four turquoise and diamond-set barrel-shaped links representing the Bavarian coat-of-arms. Aesthetically pleasing from every angle, this extraordinary piece also includes a fob seal surmounted by a leaping horse alongside additional gold, turquoise, and diamond accents. This rare find now resides in a private collection where it continues to mesmerize all who lay their eyes upon it. (Photo: eChristies Images; European School; Bridgeman Images)
