Rare Find


Rare William Bent Champlevé sold at Woolley & Wallis auction on 30 Oct 2013.
Serial # 13506 - 18ct gold Hallmarked for 1874.

In the History section you will see William Bent was 51 in 1874.

This beauty is a keywind & set pocket watch housed in an 18ct gold case and is unique as it is the only William Bent I have seen with a gold champlevé dial instead of the traditional white enamel.

I would love to know more about this watch and perhaps even receive some pics via email to grace these pages. (I hope the proud new owner will read this and leave a comment)
