Provenance
Formerly from the collection of Countess
Adelaide Janina Zamoyska (1920-1946)
This bracelet watch, formerly from
Baron Eugene de Rothschildʼs
daughter, Countess Adelaide Janina
Zamoyska collection, is fitted with
round-cut and baguette-cut diamonds
to the bezel and articulated lugs.
Each end of the case, the diamonds
would appear to form a crown, further
enhancing the look of this bracelet
watch, which is manufactured to a
very high quality and standard.
The bracelet is comprised of original
seed pearls, which are intact despite
the age of the watch. While the case
and bracelet was manufactured by
Van Cleef & Arpels, the movement
was made by Vacheron & Constantin,
which is typical of the period.
Furthermore, the present is in very
appealing and original condition. This
setting is complete throughout and
the watch has a very art-deco look,
which further enhances its rarity.
