Gubelin Art Deco Diamond Platinum Enamel Dragon Pendant Lapel Watch
About the Item
A very fine and highly attractive Art Deco period Gubelin diamond, platinum and enamel dragon pendant lapel watch.
E. Gubelin, Lucerne
Circa 1920
In Asian mythology, the dragon represents the principle of heaven, prestige and power. It is associated with the Chinese Imperial family. Some of the finest jewels of the Art Deco period were influenced by exotic Asian motifs which included mythical creature motifs, symmetry and balance. Gubelin is known for its exquisite high-end jewellery, gemstone expertise and discerning clientele. The house celebrates 160 years in business in 2024 and 2024 is the Year of the Dragon.
The open-work case of the pendant lapel watch features approximately 1.50 TCW of full-cut and single-cut diamonds with black enamel accents, suspended from a horizontal diamond bar brooch. The back reveals a watch with Arabic numerals, pearl white dial, black enamel birds in flight amidst stylized clouds and a dynamic black enamel dragon. Mounted in platinum.
Marks: Gubelin, Lucerne, Swiss signed on dial; French assay mark
Condition: Very Good- diamonds fully intact; the watch is in working order, not guaranteed to keep exact time; age appropriate wear to enamel.
Length: 2.25 inches
May be worn as a lapel watch or attached to a chain and worn as a pendant.
References: Christie's April 15 2003 lot 219 for a diamond lapel watch by Gubelin. Art Deco diamond lapel watches by Gubelin are rare as they were often one of a kind bespoke luxury items. Cartier Art Deco lapel watches are seen more frequently and offer a glimpse into the variety of interesting designs created for this type of timepiece.
