Lot 807 is the gentleman’s Ebel eighteen carat gold perpetual calendar, very rare to auction this presents is a fine opportunity to bidders to purchase a much-coveted model estimated at £3000-5000. The mid size Piaget eighteen carat gold watch at lot 772 would fit the male or female bidder with its 31mm case and is estimated at £2500-3000. For those collectors of period timepieces lot 809 will be of interest- a good example of an eighteen carat gold full hunter pocket watch.
