Made in 1914, this skillfully engraved Swiss pink hunting cased minute repeating triple calendar watch was very likely ordered by the last German Emperor and King of Prussia, Wilhelm II, for his son, Prince Adalbert of Prussia. Emperor Wilhelm likely gifted this piece to his son about one month prior to the Prince's marriage to Princess Adelheid of Saxe-Meiningen on August 14, 1914, and to the best of our knowledge is entirely unique. The cuvette is finely engraved with symbols of this royal family - the House of Hohenzollern - including the family's coat of arms, and its intricate case incorporates grapes, pears, urn, and a monogram ‘A’ heightened by the imperial crown on the reverse. With an estimate of $12/18,000, visit us on York Avenue this weekend to view this watch and more exceptional highlights on offer in our 11 December Important Watches auction in
